Abstract
Tremendous advances in sequencing technologies have paved the way towards development and application of a plethora of computational methods that aim to use sequencing to answer a wide array of biological questions. This talk is going to highlight the speaker's contributions to the development of such algorithms and their application to single-cell RNA-seq data for understanding gene expression and associated changes under disease conditions.
Dr. Malik is a Senior Scientist at the biopharmaceutical company, AbbVie, where she works on drug discovery from a multi-omics perspective for neuropsychiatric disorders. She graduated from LUMS in 2013 with a BS in Computer Science and continued to pursue a PhD from Stony Brook University, with a focus on the development of computational algorithms for sequencing data analysis. She has published several papers at renowned bioinformatics venues.
