Assistance will be given to those who need help installing 'R' and 'R Studio' (please make sure you have administrator rights). By using your personal laptop, you will be able to continue using R and R Studio, utilizing the examples given during the program after the workshop has ended.
 | Sajung Yun, Ph.D. Dr. Sajung Yun received his Ph.D. in biomedical sciences from University of Hawaii at Manoa. His doctoral dissertation was about relationships between vascular architecture of Circle of Willis and dementia including Alzheimer's disease. Currently a contractor with the National Institute of Diabetes Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), Dr. Yun’s current research projects focus on in vivo and in vitro gastrointestinal tumors using CRISPR-Cas9. Dr. Yun has managed large clinical databases and currently holds a certification in healthcare data analytics. |
 | Allissa Dillman, Ph.D. Dr. Allissa Dillman received her Ph.D. in neuroscience from the graduate partnership program between NIH and the Karolinska Institutet. She studied gene expression regulation, splicing and RNA editing in development and disease. Her specific interest in RNA modifications include base pair mapping in the transcriptome and their potential biological function. In 2015, she joined the National Cancer Institute for her postdoctoral work where she studies epigenetic regulation of splicing and the identification and biological function of novel RNA modifications. Throughout her scientific career she has contributed to more than 30 scientific publications and participates in mentorship and teaching of both bioinformatics and RNA biology. Dr. Dillman has also participated as a team lead for RNA related projects in multiple hackathons at the NIH. |
 | Niraj Trivedi, Ph.D. Dr. Trivedi is a branch statistician for Columbus Technologies as a contractor for the Social Behavioral Research Branch at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Trivedi provides statistical, computational, and bioinformatic support to scientists of the institute for their data analysis needs. This includes microarray analysis, statistical analysis, and general analysis in biomedical "big data" |
