Theis\, Helmholtz Mun ich\n Tuesday October 26\, 12-1pm\n Zoom Link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/8685 5481591\n\nAbstract: Advances in single cell genomics nowadays allow the l arge-scale construction of organ atlases. These can be used to study pertu rbations such as signaling\, drugs or diseases\, with large-scale access t o state changes on the transcriptomic and more recently also epigenomic le vel. This provides an ideal application area for machine learning methods to understand cellular response. Here I will first show how we leverage re presentation learning to identify a gene expression manifold\, and thus bu ild a lung cell atlas across datasets from many labs. I will demonstrate h ow to query this atlas for new biology using transfer learning\, and then discuss how to include other modalities\, spatial context as well as pertu rbations into such models.\n DTSTART:20221026T160000Z DTEND:20221026T170000Z SUMMARY:QLS Seminar Series - Fabian Theis URL:/qls/channels/event/qls-seminar-series-fabian-thei s-342769 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
