NGS IEG September 24th - Dr. Jared Brewer; Vindhya Data Science
Greetings!
Please join us on Thursday, September 24th to welcome Dr. Jared Brewer. Representing Vindhya Data Science in Morrisville, NC, Dr. Brewer will introduce GeneFox, a native mobile application for analyzing public transcriptomics data across tens of thousands of datasets. 📱 🧬
Title: GeneFox: A Native Mobile Application for Analysis of Public Transcriptomics Data
Abstract: We have developed Genefox, a new application for iOS, macOS, and Android that facilitates the analysis of 40,000+ public transcriptomic datasets including TCGA, GEO, CCLE, GTEx, and more, in a user-friendly, native interface. GeneFox is developed to be highly performant and flexible, offering a range of visualization types and access to complex data and metadata. It leverages the growing computational power of mobile devices to allow local, on-device statistical analysis and visualizations of high dimensional transcriptomics data across thousands of samples. GeneFox is now available on the App Store and Play Store (https://genefox.app/download).
Presenter’s bio: Jared received his Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics and Microbiology from Duke where he studied host-pathogen interactions in tuberculosis using a zebrafish model. While there, he identified a novel role for macrophage NFAT signaling in driving host angiogenesis in response to infection, a process that facilitates bacterial growth. He joined Vindhya Data Science in 2023 as a data scientist where he has worked on many client-facing and internal projects, including a spatial proteomics analysis in papillary renal cell carcinoma that is currently under review for publication.

Other NGS IEG info/links:
The NextGen Sequencing Intellectual Exchange Group (NGS IEG) provides a forum to share methods and technologies driving biotechnology research in North Carolina from both academic and private research groups. NGS IEG provides an excellent networking opportunity for biotech leaders, academics, and students interested in networking with local RTP biotech. We gather industry leaders from the RTP area to share, discuss and review their new technologies, research, and big-data platforms in a casual environment with lunch provided.
