SUMMARY:Biostatistics Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Fred Hutch Biostatistics Program hosts seminars featuring presentations by Fred Hutch and outside scientists to share their latest developments and recent research. Each seminar includes an hour-long presentation and discussion during which speakers showcase their work and findings. \nThis seminar will be held on Zoom due to the COVID-19 pandemic. \nPRESENTER: Min Qian\, Ph.D.\n\n“Regularized greedy gradient Q-learning with mobile health applications”\n\n\nRecent advance in health and technology has made mobile apps a viable approach to delivering behavioral interventions in areas including physical activity encouragement\, smoking cessation\, substance abuse prevention\, and mental health management. Due to the chronic nature of most of the disorders and heterogeneity among mobile users\, delivery of the interventions needs to be sequential and tailored to individual needs. We operationalize the sequential decision making via a policy that takes a mobile user’s past usage pattern and health status as input and outputs an app/intervention recommendation with the goal of optimizing the cumulative rewards of interest in an indefinite horizon setting. we propose a regularized greedy gradient Q-learning (RGGQ) method to tackle this estimation problem. The optimal policy is estimated via an algorithm that synthesizes the PGM and the GGQ algorithms\, and its asymptotic properties are established.

SUMMARY:Frameworks for Brain Cell Type Definition\, Ontology\, and Nomenclature Workshop: Mapping of Cell Type Data
DESCRIPTION:In this virtual workshop\, we will explore best practices for mapping single cell data to reference cell atlases. Mapping single cell data to reference cell atlases is complicated by batch effects between datasets\, systematic differences in biological conditions of the samples\, limited availability of computational resources\, and sharing restrictions on raw data. While our focus is on transcriptomically-defined cell types of the brain\, applications in other tissues and in the use of other data modalities will also be considered. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, May 12\, 2022\n8am-2pm Pacific Time \nREGISTRATION: GENERAL ATTENDEE \nGeneral attendees are invited to listen to the full workshop and pose questions to the speakers. Registration is free. \nREGISTRATION: DATA CHALLENGE \nData challenge participants will submit preliminary results and have the opportunity to present at the workshop. Participation is free. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDefining and naming cell types is a key problem of contemporary neuroscience. While the problem has preoccupied neuroscientists for over a century\, it now has significantly increased attention due to our ability to collect cellular level data in a high-throughput manner. International consortia involved in molecular brain cell classification\, including the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN)\, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA)\, and the Human Biomolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) are generating and classifying cell types in all organ systems in the human body at a rapid pace. Standards for classification\, naming\, and data mapping are essential to form a common language of cell types to make sense of these enormous datasets\, and to promote understanding between multiple domains\, projects\, and scientists. \nEssential to our understanding of cell types and their functions is to catalog measured transcriptomes of cells belonging to each cell type\, and to present this information in the form of comprehensive reference single cell atlases. Much like how reference genomes provide a map for locating the origin of sequencing reads\, reference cell atlases can be used to map query cells to potential cell types in the reference atlas in order to rapidly characterize and compare relevant cell phenotypes. Reference atlases ultimately help quantify transcriptional heterogeneity that arises as a result of natural variation\, aging\, environmental influences\, and disease. Large single-cell atlases comprising millions of cells across tissues\, organs\, donors\, developmental stages\, and conditions are now being generated by consortia such as the Human Cell Atlas and BICCN to serve as references for smaller-scale studies. \nThe workshop will include presentations about key state-of-the-art methods and techniques\, and a comparison of results obtained by different methods in a hands-on data mapping challenge. To explore these mapping techniques\, workshop participants will be provided with data mapping “challenges” to be completed before the workshop. Creative solutions to these challenges will have the opportunity to present to a national audience at the June 6\, 2022\, BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) consortium meeting and participate in a published article detailing the challenge results.

SUMMARY:Frameworks for Brain Cell Type Definition\, Ontology\, and Nomenclature Workshop: Mapping of Cell Type Data
DESCRIPTION:In this virtual workshop\, we will explore best practices for mapping single cell data to reference cell atlases. Mapping single cell data to reference cell atlases is complicated by batch effects between datasets\, systematic differences in biological conditions of the samples\, limited availability of computational resources\, and sharing restrictions on raw data. While our focus is on transcriptomically-defined cell types of the brain\, applications in other tissues and in the use of other data modalities will also be considered. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, May 12\, 2022\n8am-2pm Pacific Time \nREGISTRATION: GENERAL ATTENDEE \nGeneral attendees are invited to listen to the full workshop and pose questions to the speakers. Registration is free. \nREGISTRATION: DATA CHALLENGE \nData challenge participants will submit preliminary results and have the opportunity to present at the workshop. Participation is free. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDefining and naming cell types is a key problem of contemporary neuroscience. While the problem has preoccupied neuroscientists for over a century\, it now has significantly increased attention due to our ability to collect cellular level data in a high-throughput manner. International consortia involved in molecular brain cell classification\, including the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN)\, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA)\, and the Human Biomolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) are generating and classifying cell types in all organ systems in the human body at a rapid pace. Standards for classification\, naming\, and data mapping are essential to form a common language of cell types to make sense of these enormous datasets\, and to promote understanding between multiple domains\, projects\, and scientists. \nEssential to our understanding of cell types and their functions is to catalog measured transcriptomes of cells belonging to each cell type\, and to present this information in the form of comprehensive reference single cell atlases. Much like how reference genomes provide a map for locating the origin of sequencing reads\, reference cell atlases can be used to map query cells to potential cell types in the reference atlas in order to rapidly characterize and compare relevant cell phenotypes. Reference atlases ultimately help quantify transcriptional heterogeneity that arises as a result of natural variation\, aging\, environmental influences\, and disease. Large single-cell atlases comprising millions of cells across tissues\, organs\, donors\, developmental stages\, and conditions are now being generated by consortia such as the Human Cell Atlas and BICCN to serve as references for smaller-scale studies. \nThe workshop will include presentations about key state-of-the-art methods and techniques\, and a comparison of results obtained by different methods in a hands-on data mapping challenge. To explore these mapping techniques\, workshop participants will be provided with data mapping “challenges” to be completed before the workshop. Creative solutions to these challenges will have the opportunity to present to a national audience at the June 6\, 2022\, BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) consortium meeting and participate in a published article detailing the challenge results.
