Sieu Huynh is a talented data engineer in her early twenties at DataXight who is making an impact on global projects through her strong technical abilities and communication. In this interview, Sieu will uncover how she began data engineering, her advice for fellow Vietnamese engineers, and how DataXight has been a great place for her to build her career. HOW DID YOU GET INTO DATA ENGINEERING? Initially I didn’t plan to go in that direction. During my college studies I started working as a Bu

The Virtual Cell is a concept at the intersection of computational biology and systems science. At its core, it aims to represent a predictive model of how a living cell responds to internal and external cues. In its ideal form, a Virtual Cell captures every molecular detail - dynamic proteins, metabolic fluxes, physical interactions, and more. Building such a fully mechanistic model remains beyond current computational capabilities. A more tractable approximation has emerged over the past deca

Single-cell RNA sequencing is fueling a rapid expansion of large-scale omics data. Projects such as Tahoe 100M, which profiled 100 million cells across 50 cancer cell lines, are already opening new avenues for discovery, including predicting cellular responses to drug treatments. Not long after, the Billion Cells Project has partnered with more than 10 leading laboratories and institutions across the United States, with a goal of generating nearly 500 million single-cell profiles in its first ye
