Research Theme: Bio-Data science/Metabonomics
Research Project Title: Advanced predictive models based on metabonomic profiling
Principal Investigator/Supervisor: Prof Wang Yulan
Co-supervisor/ Collaborator(s) (if any): Dr Wilson Goh
Project Description
a) Background[GWBW(1] :
Metabonomic profiling has immense potential for biomarker discovery and also for disease staging, profiling and diagnostic/prognostic prediction. Recent advances in NMR and MS have further improved the resolution and reliability of metabolite profiling. However, analytical issues pertaining to batch effects, sample heterogeneity and noise still persist. This project aims to improve the resolution, reliability and reproducibility of metabonomic profiling using a combination of analytical chemistry and data science approaches. You will deploy the developed techniques on realworld problems (with data residing in our labs) such as cancer and mental illness.
b) Proposed work:
This project involves a combination of analytical chemistry and data science work. You will first gain practical familiarity with both NMR and MS data generation (in the Wang Lab), focusing first on experimental reproducibility. You will then generate benchmark data with known batch and noise effects, which we will then develop data science approaches for (Goh Lab). We will focus on dealing with noise and batch effects. We will also work on improving algorithms for differentiating noise and meaningful signals. Finally, using in-house data, we will work on the use of integrating machine learning methods with metabolite profiling and investigate its added potential for accurate prediction over other omics platforms.
c) Preferred skills:
Highly motivated candidates with strong computing/mathematical/statistical skills and analytical chemistry skills are strongly encouraged to apply.
