Using machine learning to predict stem cell aging.

- Obtained blood stem cell gene expression dataset
- Trained multiple supervised classifier models to identify young or old
- Selected critical subset of genes that predicted age with 98.5% accuracy

Currently exploring the therapeutic and rejuvenative implications of the study.

Building a workflow for 3D fluorescent microscopy analysis.

I realized that there were few tools in lab to quantify microscopic images.

- Created a workflow for analyzing 3D images from fluorescent microscopy
- Given surface rendering, relationships can be quantified (distance, density, branches)

Tool increased experimental precision, and was quickly adopted by the lab.
