Yudi Bedi is a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Dr. Nidhi Bhutani in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University. His research centers on identifying immune cell biomarkers of osteoarthritis and developing ways to detect early OA before radiographic degeneration occurs. To explore these questions, he uses single-cell omics approaches, including single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell mass cytometry (CyTOF). He also applies these tools in mouse models of OA and 3D in vitro human OA systems to better understand how the disease develops and progresses.
Dr. Bedi earned his PhD in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M University, where he studied the effects of paternal preconception alcohol exposure on fetal development using mouse models. His training is rooted in wet-lab molecular biology, and his postdoctoral work has given him the opportunity to expand into single-cell transcriptomic and proteomic analysis. In this talk, he will share how these approaches are shaping his research, along with some of the challenges and lessons learned along the way.
