pharmaco-image

In this project, we aim to use Human U2OS cell images (GigaScience dataset) to predict a large number of compound activities against different protein targets.

Investigations and key findings:

  1. Batch effects exist in the cell image dataset. There are several methods to detect batch effects.
    1. Visualizing cell image features vs. experiment ID
    2. Interactive visualization tool to detect batch effects
    3. Plot feature correlation heatmap
  2. It is challenging to remove such batch effects.
    1. ComBat normalization
    2. Z-score normalization
  3. It is promising to use cell image data to predict compound assay activities.
    1. Use compound fingerprint feature as a baseline
    2. Experiment with random forest, logistic regression with features extracted from a pre-trained CNN
    3. End-to-end train a LeNet CNN
