Vision loss shifts the balance of feedforward and intracortical circuits in opposite directions in mouse primary auditory and visual cortices

Published in Journal of Neuroscience, 2015

Our results suggest that loss of vision produces distinct circuit changes in the spared and deprived sensory cortices to shift between feedforward and intracortical processing to allow adaptation.

Selecting single cell clustering parameter values using subsampling-based clustering metrics

Published in BMC Bioinformatics, 2021

Here, we illustrate a subsampling-based approach (chooseR) that simultaneously guides parameter selection and characterizes cluster robustness.

A Comparison of the Cellular and Molecular Atlases of the Macaque and Mouse Dorsal Horns

Published in Neuron, In Press, 2021

The study thus provides an essential resource for the functional interrogation of neural circuits underlying somatosensory processing within the dorsal horn and across species as well as for the validation of therapeutic targets.

A comparative transcriptomic analysis of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor- and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor-expressing cells in the hypothalamus

Published in Appetite, 2022

We have provided a detailed comparison of Glp1r and Gipr cells of the hypothalamus with single-cell resolution. This resource will provide mechanistic insight into how engaging Gipr- and Glp1r-expressing cells of the hypothalamus may result in changes in feeding behaviour and energy balance.

Bioinformatics Supervisor

Undergraduate Supervisor, Dept. of Computer Science and Technology, University of Cambridge, 2021

Led 2-3 person study groups in working through theoretical and practical applications of core bioinformatics topics, including dynamic programming, phylogeny (UPGMA, Neighbour Joining, Parsimony), clustering (hard/soft K-means, hierarchical, Markov), genome sequencing (Hamiltonian and De Bruijn graphs), genome alignment (suffix tries and the Burrows-Wheeler Transform), and Hidden Markov Models (Viterbi algorithm, Baum-Welch learning).
