I am daniel gomez ORCID iD icon, a graduate research fellow of genetics, systems biology, AI, ML/DL, generative models, foundational models, AI Virtual Cells, digital health, exercise immunology, cellular biology, molecular biology, cancer biology, spatial omics, single-cell genomics, translational bioinformatics, immunotherapy, personalized medicine, and astroimmunology. As a research assistant, I'm completing my master's thesis in the Snyder Lab at Stanford Genetics as a partial requirement for a Master's of Science Degree in Biological Sciences at the California State University, East Bay. I earned a certification in the Fundamentals of Data Science in Precision Medicine and Cloud Computing at Stanford University School of Medicine, and completed my second certification in Fundamentals of AI/ML in Precision Medicine at Stanford Data Ocean, Stanford Deep Data Research Center. I also completed a certificate from CS 100 at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory for structure determination. I received my Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology: Concentration in Cell and Molecular Biology from San Francisco State University. More information is available in my CV.

Research

Research Assistant, Genetics, Pathology, Immunology

My thesis research is on exerkines, exercise multiomics, health and disease, mechanobiology, astroimmunology, building 3D atlases with single-cell spatial maps at single-cell resolution with machine learning and sc/snRNAseq, spatial omics using computational next-generation tools. This novel research makes a big impact in multiple research communities (i.e., consortia): Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity (MoTrPAC), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project, Human Biomolecular Atlas Project (HuBMAP), Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN), Gut Cell Atlas, Human Cell Atlas.

I'm interested in multiomics disciplines of medicine and biosciences, molecular biology, genetics, biomedical data science, computational biology, integrative multiomics, pathology, bioinformatics, biomedical data science/machine learning (AI/ML), single-cell and spatial biology, chemistry, structural biology, biophysics and immunophysics, tissue and organ architecture.
