Jia Nie, PhD
Assistant Professor/Research
Our research goal is to identify novel therapeutic approaches for geriatric patients. To achieve this, we generate "big data" from human samples to construct a molecular map and demonstrate the potential targets in animal models. I had my Ph.D. in molecular biology and later finished the Biomedical Data Science Certificate program at UT Health. My training experience has led me to carry out multidisciplinary research projects. Our area of interest will be applying machine learning techniques in single-cell/nuclei datasets, decoding cell populations through signaling dynamics, and systematically exploring molecular and physiological mechanisms.
