About us
The Meyer research group at Medical College of Wisconsin started in August 2020. We moved to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in March 2022. We are part of the Department of Computational Biomedicine, Smidt Heart Institute, Advanced Clinical Biosystems Research Institute (ACBRI), and the new single cell Innovation Center. Our lab is located at the North Campus Pacific Design Center.
We envision a world where fast omic analysis enables simultaneous personalized disease diagnostics and prediction of effective treatment.
To realize this vision, we are building faster omic data collection methods, and computational methods that automatically extract knowledge and understanding from this new scale of omic data.
Research
Modeling biological and chemical systems to predict new drugs in silico
Working with the interface of mass spectrometry-based omics (proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics) and computation (bioinformatics, machine learning)
Method development
Stem cell derived tissue models
Alzheimer’s Disease
Biological predictions with machine learning and large scale “omics”
Our research interests currently focus on combining unbiased, large-scale omics with machine learning to gain insight into biological systems. Our lab uses a variety of techniques, including (1) mass spectrometry-based proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics, (2) computational methods including machine learning and deep neural networks (deep learning), bioinformatics, and cheminformatics, (3) mammalian tissue culture and bacterial/yeast culture coupled to high throughput sample preparation with liquid handling robots.
