Joseph Soundararajan

I am a Ph.D. student with experience in biological and data science. As a graduate student, currently in training to use tools to increase biomedical productivity and improve the impact of our research on improving public health. As an undergraduate, my research included the possible role of vitamin E in the regeneration of testicular tissue in zebrafish after injury. As such, I have experience working with animal models, including zebrafish and mice. Currently at Mizzou, I am working with Dr. Dong Xu on using GNN (graphical Neural Networks) in analyzing and visualizing large sets of single-cell RNA data. This methods…

Wes Warren

Warren spent his first career years at Monsanto and then felt the need to return to Academia. At Monsanto most of his research was in molecular biology. He also continues to collaborate with the St. Louis Zoo on the unknown causes of high incidences of pyometra urinary in African Painted Dogs. Warren has published over 130 research articles. The number will only grow as he continues and begins his many collaborative research projects and new research at Bond LSC

Caleb Grohmann

I grew up on a pig farm in southern Illinois, where we used data to inform breeding decisions. That inspired me to get a B.S. and M.S. in Animal Sciences. Now, I use sensor data to inform farm mangers when mortality episodes will occur, then, they can make better decisions on when to intervene with additional antibiotics.
