About the workshop

Explore straight-up cutting-edge findings using multimodal single-cell and nucleus-level genomics and epigenomics. Dr. Cheng will break it down with interpretable deep learning and in silico network medicine to uncover complex molecular interactions between disease-associated microglia and astrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease.

The workshop will explore how these discoveries support novel approaches to drug repurposing for neurodegenerative disorders. 

What you'll learn about

  • Explore how multimodal single-cell and epigenomic analysis reveals disease-relevant cellular interactions.

  • Understand the role of AI and network medicine in uncovering therapeutic targets in Alzheimer’s.

  • Learn how integrated data analysis informs drug repurposing strategies in neurodegeneration research.
