Title: Ramanome: a new type of single-cell phenome big-data
Abstract:
A ramanome is the collection of single-cell Raman spectra (SCRS) acquired from individual cells within an isogenic population (ramanome) or consortium (metaramanome). Obtaining the ramanome can be non-destructive to the cell and does not require external labeling or preexisting biomarkers. Moreover it can be measured and monitored with high throughput and low cost. Furthermore, as each individual Raman peak or combination of peaks in an SCRS can potentially describe a phenotype, the number of states or functions that can be described by a ramanome is very large. In fact, just as a 1500-pixel digital portrait photo provides a combination of many features, multiple cellular functions can be unveiled simultaneously. Finally and importantly, genotype can be linked to phenotype at single-cell resolution via Raman-activated Cell Sorting. Thus, ramanome can serve as a new type of single-cell phenome big data for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Biography:
XU Jian was born in Zhang zhou, Fujian, China in 1976. He obtained B.S in Biotechnology from Peking University in 1997, and M.S. in Computer Science and PhD in Biochemistry from Washington University in St. Louis in 2003. After serving as Research Instructor at Genome Institute of Washington University, he joined Qingdao Institute of BioEnergy and Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008 and has been the founding Director of Single-Cell Center, CAS-QIBEBT.The Center has been developing a new generation of single-cell analysis instruments. Via these innovative research tools,Jian and his colleagues are delineating and designing key metabolic processes, such as microalgal oil production, cellulose conversion and human-microbe symbiosis, at the single-cell level.He has published over 60 research papers on leading journals such as Science, PLoS Biology, PLoS Genetics, Plant Cell,PNAS, Biotech Adv, ISME J,Biotech Biofuels,Anal Chem, Lab Chip etc, with the total number of citations exceeding 2000. He has won a number of prestigious career awards from NSFC, MOST and CAS, including the National Distinguished Young Investigator Award (2014, NSFC).
