Module 5 - Single-cell Transcriptomics and Genomics

Module week: Week 39 (starting 22 September 2026)

Lecture to be confirmed — released online at the start of the module week if available. The computer lab (Wednesday 13:00–17:00) and seminar (Friday 10:00–12:00) are held live over Zoom.

Module 5 covers genomics and single-cell analysis, featuring scRNA-seq processing pipelines, pathway analysis, and genomic workflows. Students integrate comprehensive genomics analysis capabilities into their AI agents.

Guest lecturer (to be confirmed): Xiaojie Qiu

Xiaojie Qiu’s research develops computational and machine learning methods for single-cell genomics, including approaches for reconstructing cellular dynamics and gene-regulatory networks from single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data.

The computer lab notebook will be released at the start of the module week; you will present your lab work at the Friday seminar.
