• Heterogeneous endocrine cell composition defines human islet functional phenotypes

  Phenotyping and genotyping initiatives within the Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP), the largest source of human islets for research in the U.S., provide standardized assessment of islet preparations distributed to researchers, enabling the integration of multiple data types. Data from islets of the first 299 organ donors without diabetes, analyzed using this pipeline, highlights substantial heterogeneity in islet cell composition associated with hormone secretory traits, sex, reported race and ethnicity, genetically predicted ancestry, and genetic risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). While α and β cell composition influenced insulin and glucagon secretory traits, the abundance of δ cells showed the strongest association with insulin secretion and was also associated with the genetic risk score (GRS) for T2D. These findings have important implications for understanding mechanisms underlying diabetes heterogeneity and islet dysfunction and may provide insight into strategies for personalized medicine and β cell replacement therapy.

• Genetic control of naive T cell receptor gene usage in celiac disease

  We have characterized the TCR repertoire of naïve CD4+ T cells in 103 individuals with CeD and 103 control subjects by undertaking gene usage quantitative trait loci analyses based on repertoire sequencing and single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping. Variants within the TCR alpha and beta loci and HLA region as well as HLA-DQ allotypes and alleles were tested for association with TCR gene usage.

• Personalized Medicine Based on Genomic Data

  Understanding how an individual's genetics are associated with their susceptibility to complex diseases and phenotypes is fundamental to advancing precision medicine. This study involved a series of integrative analyses of biospecimens and corresponding clinical data. This study aims to comprehensively investigate genotype-phenotype associations.

• Genetic control of naive B cell receptor gene usage in celiac disease

  We have characterized the BCR repertoire of naïve B cells in 102 individuals with CeD and 102 control subjects by undertaking gene usage quantitative trait loci analyses based on BCR repertoire sequencing and single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping within the IGH, IGK and IGL loci.

• WES Analysis of precancerous lesions in Lynch Syndrome

  The project focuses on identifying the genetic alterations involved in the early stages of tumor development in individuals with Lynch Syndrome. Using Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), the study aims to characterize somatic mutations and molecular pathways that drive the transformation from normal tissue to precancerous lesions. This research contributes to a better understanding of tumorigenesis in hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes.

• Single nucleus ATAC sequencing of isolated NK cells and CD56+ T cells from digested NSCLC tumor lesions

  In order to explore the intratumoral NK cell heterogeneity at an epigenetic level, we performed matched single nucleus ATAC sequencing of isolated CD45+CD3+CD56+ immune cells from 11 NSCLC patients.

• Epigenetic characterization of glioblastoma stem cells

  Chromatin accessibility discriminates stem from mature cell populations, enabling the identification of primitive stem-like cells in primary tumors, such as glioblastoma (GBM) where self-renewing cells driving cancer progression and recurrence are prime targets for therapeutic intervention. We show, using single-cell chromatin accessibility, that primary human GBMs harbor a heterogeneous self-renewing population whose diversity is captured in patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). In-depth characterization of chromatin accessibility in GSCs identifies three GSC states: Reactive, Constructive, and Invasive, each governed by uniquely essential transcription factors and present within GBMs in varying proportions. Orthotopic xenografts reveal that GSC states associate with survival, and identify an invasive GSC signature predictive of low patient survival, in line with the higher invasive properties of Invasive state GSCs compared to Reactive and Constructive GSCs as shown by in vitro and in vivo assays. Our chromatin-driven characterization of GSC states improves prognostic precision and identifies dependencies to guide combination therapies.
