Integrative omics identifies conserved and pathogen-specific responses of sepsis-causing bacteria

Published in Nature Communications, 2023

The collaborative consortium took on the challenging task of producing and integrating multi-omics datasets generated from key clinical sepsis pathogens from Australia and globally, to support discovery and translational research to tackle the global challenge in the rise of antimicrobial resistance.

Single-cell analysis of lymphatic endothelial cell fate specification and differentiation during zebrafish development

Published in The EMBO Journal, 2023

We here present a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of lymphangiogenesis in zebrafish, revealing new markers and hallmarks of LEC differentiation over four developmental stages.

A user-friendly multi-omics data harmonisation R pipeline

Published in f1000, 2021

We present our R multiomics pipeline as an easy to use and flexible pipeline that takes unrefined multi-omics data as input, sample information and user-specified parameters to generate a list of output plots and data tables for quality control and downstream analysis.

A Survey of Current Resources to Study lncRNA-Protein Interactions

Published in non-coding RNA, 2021

We reviewed the current state of the art in lncRNA-protein interactions (LPI). We specifically surveyed recent computational methods and databases which researchers can exploit for LPI investigation.

A multi-modal data harmonisation approach for discovery of COVID-19 drug targets

Published in Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2021

We demonstrate with two independent case studies that our multi-modal data harmonisation pipeline easily generates a list of pertinent biological features for downstream analyses without using algorithms specifically tailored to the datasets.

Integrative computational epigenomics to build data-driven gene regulation hypotheses

Published in GigaScience, 2020

In this review, we perform a critical analysis of methods with the explicit aim of harmonizing data, as opposed to case-specific integration.

A simple, scalable approach to building a cross-platform transcriptome atlas

Published in PLoS computational biology, 2020

We demonstrate that it is possible to combine a large number of different profiling experiments summarised from dozens of laboratories and representing hundreds of donors, to create an integrated molecular map of human tissue.

Multipotent RAG1+ progenitors emerge directly from haemogenic endothelium in human pluripotent stem cell-derived haematopoietic organoids

Published in Nature Cell Biology, 2020

We provide evidence for a wave of human T-cell development that originates directly from haemogenic endothelium via a RAG1+ intermediate with multilineage potential.
