Sally Lee/Dr. Thomas J. Fahey - Week 6

Week 6 - Mini project

Name: Sally Lee

Clinician mentor: Dr. Thomas J. Fahey

This week, I have been working on my mini project for the presentation next week. While the objective of my project was to analyze pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, I was not able to be added on the protocol on time to be able to obtain any tumor samples from the patients. Hence, my project only involved analyzing single cell RNA-seq data from the normal population with healthy pancreas, that could be used as a control when I have the tumor samples to analyze. I was hoping that I could do some analyses that are meaningful, so I searched if there is any publicly available database of sc-RNA data from patients with neuroendocrine tumors. However, I could not find anything useful. The data published in github or archives of the papers on neuroendocrine tumors also needed approval from the writers, and it has been challenging. So, for the scope of the mini project, I decided to stick with only presenting the control scRNA-seq database that could be utilized in the future and address that during the presentation.
