4TC0165Research ProjectOpenSharat Isranisharat.israni@ucsf.edusharat.israni@ucsf.eduGit/GitHubPythonSQLBiologynon-ML StatisticsBased on student interests, we can offer opportunities for a variety of projects that help advance UCSF's Knowledge Computing platform. Students will work to develop an integrated biomedical summarizer, i.e. an interface to connect and summarize information about a biomedical entity from multiple knowledgebases. Some services (e.g. Bioportal) create these connections via ontologies, but results are not returned in a programmatic (AI-ready) way or in a user-friendly, summary form. Our team has worked to develop a comprehensive knowledge network and other tools that accomplish pieces of this, but would like to put it all together into a pipeline that serves a specified use-case (which can be suggested by the project team or specified by our faculty).Undergraduate level knowledge of computer programming & databases is required, along with an interest in and basic understanding of biomedical concepts. Students will learn how to model patient data from electronic health record systems and other related biomedical data repositories; and how to use machine learning tools for prediction, design, and/or development of models. Students will develop their practical programming skills (Python, SQL, and other tools) and gain familiarity with connecting multimodal data types utilizing standard biomedical ontologies. 10%Yeshttps://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/0196d62f5a067732922e38b82707d53b?Request%20ID=TC0165&Type_ID_2=2

This project will write analytical workflows and consolidate them plus any associated data into an application or a digital tool to be hosted online and shared freely as a file. Our work has been the basis of new WHO guidelines for use of serology to inform trachoma elimination endgame. This project contributes to continued efforts towards trachoma control and elimination, with potential for wide-reaching impact in NTDs.

Our research uses single-cell RNA sequencing and computational genomics to build and integrate large-scale cellular atlases that help us understand human development, blood biology, lung biology, and cancer. Students will participate in data analysis, atlas integration, and interpretation of gene expression programs across tissues and disease contexts.

10TC0172Research ProjectOpenAnil Kamat (Ashish Raj)anil.kamat@ucsf.eduanil.kamat@ucsf.eduMLib/Machine LearningNLP ToolsPyTorchPythonTensorFlowBiologyMachine Learningnon-ML StatisticsThe Raj Lab invites motivated master’s students to join an interdisciplinary research project at the intersection of advanced machine learning and computational neuroimaging.

This work explores emerging AI methodologies to model high-resolution brain patterns associated with neurodegenerative processes using multimodal imaging data (MRI, Tau-PET, Tissue, Biomarkers, EEG, etc). By combining structural and functional information with modern generative and coordinate-based learning frameworks, the project aims to develop computational tools that enable more continuous and anatomically detailed representations of brain changes than traditional approaches.

Students will contribute to the design and evaluation of generalizable AI models, the integration of multimodal biomedical datasets, and the analysis of high-dimensional brain representations in the context of disease-related variation.
