In the field of scientific research, there are two distinctly different types of labs: wet and dry. Wet labs focus on material experimentation and hands-on learning, while dry labs deal with computational and theoretical research. Combining the knowledge from both types of labs can lead to exciting innovations. Bridging those two worlds, however, can prove challenging.
Collaboration is key, and Katie Blise, Ph.D., and Sam Sivagnanam, M.S., have been meeting in the middle since 2018 with exciting results. Dr. Blise and Ms. Sivagnanam, computational biologists at the Oregan Health & Science University School of Medicine with affiliations in the Brenden-Colson Center for Pancreatic Care and the Cell, Developmental and Cancer Biology departments, are developing new software that helps scientists quickly visualize and interpret large datasets. Thanks to advancements in technology over the past decade, scientists now have the ability to deeply analyze the cellular composition of diseased tissues…
