Andy Gonzalez: The Organization of Life

When I first began my IDEA Grant research project, I knew I was ultimately undertaking a project that sits at the intersection between biology, computer science, and mathematics. My project, which focuses on creating a new computational tool for analyzing spatial transcriptomics data, is not just solely about writing code or producing pretty figures. AtContinue reading “Andy Gonzalez: The Organization of Life”

Linking Polyp-Scale Health Dynamics to Coral Microbiome Composition

By Audrey Schneider, UC San Diego Hi! My name is Audrey, I am a rising fourth year majoring in Marine Biology at the University of California, San Diego. I grew up in Chicago for ten years, then moved to Denver for another eight years, before deciding to attend school in San Diego. Being from suchContinue reading “Linking Polyp-Scale Health Dynamics to Coral Microbiome Composition”

Andy Gonzalez: Exploring Cellular Landscapes with Computer Science

My name is Andy Gonzalez and I am a junior studying Computer Science at Florida State University. This summer, through the IDEA Grant, I am pursuing an interesting computational biology project studying the emerging area of spatial transcriptomics (ST). Imagine being able to map the activity of genes directly to the organs and tissues theyContinue reading “Andy Gonzalez: Exploring Cellular Landscapes with Computer Science”
