Characterizing B cells and Their Antibodies Using Single-Cell RNA Sequencing (scRNA-seq)

Derek Croote completed his B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering at Brown University and is currently completing a Ph.D. in Bioengineering at Stanford University in the laboratory of Professor Stephen Quake. His research has focused on applying single cell techniques and computational tools to better understand a diverse set of diseases and immunological perturbations such as food allergies, flu vaccination, dengue infection, and glioblastoma. He is interested in leveraging biological insights for translational applications and applying data science techniques to capitalize on today's unprecedented capacity for generating biological data.
