Hi there 👋

I'm Michael, a computational biologist. This means that I'm using computers and code to analyze biological data, often in collaboration with experimental scientists. I'm working on how cancer cells overcome their growth limitations and how we can use that to help patients. Here you can find some of the work I did, and more general purpose tools I wrote for anyone to use. Please reach out if you want to collaborate!

This is what I do for research 👨‍🔬 (full list 🔗)

	article	code
Developed a reliable method for estimating cell signaling pathways from gene expression		github bioc 📦
Showed how gene coexpression networks often reflect cell mixtures instead of regulation		github
Found a way how cancer cells can tolerate abnormal DNA content (aneuploidy, chromosomal instability) and potential treatments, in collaboration with experimental scientists		transposon cgas_ko ToxicGenes
Working on estimating DNA copy number of single-cell RNA sequencing	coming soon

Here are some of my open source contributions 👨‍💻 (full list 🔗)
