High-throughput screening technologies have provided a large amount of drug sensitivity data for a panel of cancer cell lines and hundreds of compounds. Computational approaches to analyzing these data can benefit anticancer therapeutics by identifyi...
The fast and untraceable virus mutations take lives of thousands of people before the immune system can produce the inhibitory antibody. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 infected and killed thousands of people in the world. Rapid methods in finding pe...
Clinical trials of novel therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) have consumed a large amount of time and resources with largely negative results. Repurposing drugs already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for another indication i...
Image-based profiling is a maturing strategy by which the rich information present in biological images is reduced to a multidimensional profile, a collection of extracted image-based features. These profiles can be mined for relevant patterns, revea...
Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) provide an excellent platform for potential clinical and research applications. Identifying abnormal Ca transients is crucial for evaluating cardiomyocyte function that requires l...
Quantitatively determining in vivo achievable drug concentrations in targeted organs of animal models and subsequent target engagement confirmation is a challenge to drug discovery and translation due to lack of bioassay technologies that can discrim...
In combinatorial chemical approaches, optimizing the composition and arrangement of building blocks toward a particular function has been done using a number of methods, including high throughput molecular screening, molecular evolution, and computat...
Human Leukocyte Antigen class II (HLA-II) molecules present peptides to T lymphocytes and play an important role in adaptive immune responses. Characterizing the binding specificity of single HLA-II molecules has profound impacts for understanding ce...
The study of complex microbial communities typically entails high-throughput sequencing and downstream bioinformatics analyses. Here we expand and accelerate microbiota analysis by enabling cell type diversity quantification from multidimensional flo...
