This project focus on developing computational and statistical methods to characterise trans-regulatory networks in cell systems. By taking advantage of public omics data resources and the trans-omics data generated from mouse embryonic stem cells by our lab, we aim to identify and reconstruct biological networks that cut across multiple regulatory machineries. The goal is to investigate the cross-talk of signalling cascades, epigenomic, transcriptomic and proteomic regulations, and their feedback regulations. The high-throughput data that we are seeking to integrate include time-course mass spectrometry-based proteomics and phosphoproteomics, and next-generation sequencing-based RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data.
The successful research candidate will be conducting the research at the Charles Perkins Centre (CPC), University of Sydney.
