Our review of 16 computational methods for estimating cell potency from single-cell RNA-seq data is now online in Cell Systems. It has been a long journey since we drafted the first version in 2023.

My postdoc Pan Liu will start this fall as Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where she will continue developing statistical methods for genomics and pursue broader questions in biostatistics such as clinical trials and AI.

1/5 New in Cell Systems: our commentary revisits a recent Nature debate over memory-associated gene-expression changes in single-cell data.

The debate centered on whether reported differential-expression (DE) signals were statistically reliable.

I am so greatly honored and happy to be selected together with my colleague Yingqi Zhao as ASA Fellows this year.

Biostatistics Program at Fred Hutch @biostats_fhcc Apr 27

Congratulations to Yingqi Zhao and @jsb_ucla from our Biostatistics Program at @FredhutchOrg on being named 2026 American Statistical Association Fellows! The ASA Fellow designation is one of the field's highest honors.
