Bioinformatician, Assistant Professor
Dr. Parisa Shooshtari is a bioinformatician whose research mainly involves cellular and molecular mechanisms, mainly in cancer as well as complex autoimmune diseases and disorders.
Asset Map Keywords: Bioinformatics, Cancer, Autoimmune Diseases and Disorders, Cell Mechanisms, Genetics, Epigenetics, Gene Regulation, Biomedical Research, Children's Health, Cell Sequencing, Data Analysis, Data Integration, and Machine Learning --> (see more)
Western Collaborators: Qi Zhang, Steve Kerfoot, and Subrata Chakrabarti
Keywords: Computational Genomics, Bioinformatics, Data Science, Machine Learning, Multi-Omics Data Integration, Single-Cell Sequencing, Complex Diseases, Gene Regulation, Epigenomics
Description of research activities: My primary research interest is developing computational, statistical and machine learning methods to understand cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying complex diseases. More specifically, I am interested in two related research areas: (a) integrative analysis of multiple biological data in order to uncover mechanisms of gene dysregulation in complex diseases; and (b) application of machine learning methods for the analysis of single-cell sequencing data (sc-genomics, sc-epigenomics and sc-transcriptomics) in order to identify specific cell sub-populations underlying complex diseases.
Dr. Parisa Shooshtari received her PhD from the University of British Columbia in 2012 and went on to complete postdoctoral training at Yale University and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Most recently, Shooshtari served as a Research Associate with the Centre for Computational Medicine at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids).
Shooshtari’s research program focuses on developing computational and statistical methods to understand cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying complex diseases. Her office and laboratory space is located within the Victoria Research Laboratories at the Victoria campus of the London Health Sciences Centre.
