<p class="rvt-m-all-remove">Atharva Naik's research focuses on Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a brain disorder that gradually impairs cognitive functions and memory.
The project aims to differentiate AD and healthy brain cells using the single-cell Generative Pretrained Transformer model (scGPT) for cell-type annotation.
The scGPT model, with its self-attention mechanism, can understand cell-cell relationships and produce accurate clusters.
The research uses a dataset of single-cell RNA sequences from both AD and healthy cells.
The pre-trained brain-specific scGPT model generates cell-type annotations to correctly label clusters, helping identify cells associated with Alzheimer’s.
This work is crucial as it deepens our understanding of genetic distinctions within AD, potentially paving the way for effective therapeutic strategies.</p>

<p class="rvt-m-all-remove">Apoorva Krovvidi's project focuses on understanding the structures of nucleotide bases in RNA sequences and their modifications.
The research uses the 'simplified molecular input line entry system' (SMILES) to translate a chemical's 3D structure into a computer-readable string.
With 4 nucleotide bases and 30 modifications, the project uses computational functions to compute the similarity between these structures.
Using R programming, a code is created for each SMILES string, resulting in a heat map that shows the similarity scores between structures.
The ultimate goal is to identify similar modifications and assign them a unique identifier for future reference.</p>
