In Conversation with Peng Gao

Peng Gao is an assistant professor at The University of Pittsburgh’s School of Public Health and was formerly a postdoctoral fellow in The Snyder Lab at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Peng’s most recent paper published in the scientific journal Genome Research is an environmental health study that demonstrates the potential impact of the exposome on precision health and explores the associations between abiotic/biotic exposures and human biomolecules. This is the first study that integrated external exposures and internal biomolecular profiles together to see how the exposome shaped the human phenotypes leading to thousands of significant associations that are valuable resources for future exposome-phenome interactions studies.

Exposures Research Study

We seek to identify and evaluate the environmental and workplace exposures using comprehensive exposome analysis methods and the combination of metabolomics data to identify occupational exposures that may impact human health. Join this study to help further research on the exposome and learn more about your own exposures in your home and workplace.

Performance effectiveness of vital parameter combinations for early warning of sepsis—an exhaustive study using machine learning

In this crucial study, we built and evaluated machine learning models for 240 different combinations of 4 vital signs: heart rate, respiratory rate, peripheral oxygen saturation, and temperature and systematically ranked these vital sign combinations with regard to 2 performance parameters: (1) area under receiver operating curve and 2) prediction times.

Multiomic analysis reveals cell-type-specific molecular determinants of COVID-19 severity

Multiomic analysis reveals cell-type-specific molecular determinants of COVID-19 severity

Featured on this month's August & September 2022 Cover of Cell Systems.

On the cover: Natural killer (NK) cells (pale blue) attacking SARS-CoV-2 viruses (red) with machine learning methodology signified by patterned numerals. In this issue of Cell Systems, Zhang et al. (p. 598) propose a machine learning method that integrates single-cell mult-iomic data with GWAS summary statistics to discover cell-type-specific disease risk genes. Application to severe COVID-19 identifies over 1,000 risk genes in 19 human lung cell types. Genetic risk is found to be enriched within NK cells and CD56 bright cytokine-producing NK cells.

A cancer-associated RNA polymerase III identity drives robust transcription and expression of snaR-A noncoding RNA

Results from this research support a model in which Pol III identity functions as an important transcriptional regulatory mechanism. Upregulation of POLR3G, which is driven by MYC, identifies a subgroup of patients with unfavorable survival outcomes in specific cancers, further implicating the POLR3G-enhanced transcription repertoire as a potential disease
factor.

CBS News Interviews Michael Snyder About Our Wearables Research Study and Self-Tracking Your Health Data.

"Stanford School of Medicine professor Michael Snyder is conducting several studies to see how far wearables can go in detecting disease. "You don't drive your car around without a dashboard," he said. "Yet, here we are as people. We're more important than cars, but we're running around without any sensors, most people. And we should be wearing these things, in my opinion, because they can alert you to early things."

"You prick your fingertip, put it on a sensor, and more biometrics scroll along the glass, all in blue, none in red to flag an anomaly."

"This is the future that Michael Snyder, director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine and chair of the department of genetics, wants for everyone on Earth. He’s already cobbling it together for himself. Each morning, he straps on four smartwatches and an Exposometer to measure levels of airborne particles. He has a continuous glucose monitor for his blood sugar and an Oura ring to track his sleep." Read More >
