Can I list them all? If I have forgotten you, please drop me a line!!!

Elcid Aaron Pangilinan, 2024, upsAI: A high-accuracy machine learning classifier for predicting Plasmodium falciparum var gene upstream groups. Paper just about to get published… 

Boyi Xiao, 2024, Prediction of Host-Parasite Interactions

Mingfeng Zhang, 2023, Evaluating Diverse Analysis Methods by Analysing Gene Expression Changes in Parasites Induced by Lysophosphatidylcholine Depletion

Peiyi Wu, 2023, Trajectory Inference of P. falciparum Development: Study under Two Conditions and Comparison of Different TI Methods

Ziyu Shen & Arun Joseph, 2022, Detecting the existence of zoonotic pathogens in NGS data

Yiyi Cheng, 2021, Pooling single cells RNAseq data to create virtual cells: a novel method to discover genes differentially expressed. 
Yiyi is currently PhD Student in my Lab (Glasgow). Her master project (now call CellDEEP) became part of her PhD is under review and can be viewed on BioRxiv.

Carol Clark, 2021, Generating an R Shiny Front End to Visualise Pseudotime Analysis - that project then lead into ParaCell - cellatlas, lead by Edward Agboraw, another Glasgow Bioinformatics Master student (ParaCell paper)

Ahmad Alsaeed, 2021, Exploring the signature of CD14 in the blood across different diseases at the single cell level using Seurat 

Meng Du, 2020, Pseudotime Inference and RNA Velocity in Plasmodium berghei

Roan Zaied, 2020, Developed an R Shiny application to understand the effect of cell count on a scRNA-seq analysis pipeline

Yi Lu, 2020, Exploring the structure of the rif and stevor gene family in malaria

Ye Sun, 2020, Trajectories of B cell in RA

Lucy MacDonald, 2018, Optimizing unsupervised clustering of scRNAseq data to facilitate the identification of synovial tissue macrophage populations in remission of Rheumatoid Arthritis. 
Lucy did then a PhD with Mariola and me, we many cool RA papers!

Gavin Mackenziem, 2019, Predicting var genes from fragement. 
His master lead to the Varia paper, which is used to date by the malaria community!
