Such a well deserved promotion! We are lucky to have you as a colleague!
Congrats to Ben Langmead on his promotion to full professor! 🎉 Prof. Langmead is recognized across the computational & life sciences fields for his innovative methods helping to transform how biomedical researchers and other life scientists access & use DNA sequencing data. 🧬
Huge congratulations @BoyiGuo! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see what you do in this next chapter
Excited to announce that I'll start as a tenure-track assistant professor @UofUPHS this fall. #BiostatsElevated Our #GUOmics lab will focus on developing biologically informed machine learning methods to decode spatial and population-scale omics data. Look forward to colab!
Excited to share a blogpost summarizing challenges, opportunities & reflections from a course @HopkinsEngineer co-taught with @alexisjbattle (and huge support from @GrimesSeraj!) at the the intersection of #deeplearning #genetics #genomics stephaniehicks.com/blog/course-de… #ML #education
If your adjusted p-values are capped at the smallest possible number that your computer can calculate (~ log10(p) = 307), that should be a sign that it was not a stringent statistic test. Pseudobulking goes a long way to solve this.
Very excited to see this important work out led by the talented @MicTott @BoyiGuo @jhubiostat!
🚨 New paper published in @naturemethods! We introduce SpotSweeper, the first spatially-aware QC methods for spatial transcriptomics. 💻 Code: github.com/MicTott/SpotSw… 📈 Website: mictott.github.io/SpotSweeper/ 📰 Paper : nature.com/articles/s4159… 🧵👇
Looking forward to visit @IcahnMountSinai tomorrow morning. If you are around NYC and are interested in single cell / spatial genomics, the talk starts at 10am. Hope you see you there! events.mountsinaihealth.org/event/genetics…
New paper out in @genomeresearch on using contrastive self-supervised learning for spatial domain detection with multi-omics data! Huge congratulations to @JNinnnngg and coauthors Jinglun Yu, Brian Caffo Stephanie Page & @martinowk! 🧬 doi.org/10.1101/gr.279…
They found a loop hole around the court order to unfreeze NIH funds. Grant review panels cannot be registered with the HHS now and so grants can't be reviewed and hence can't be disbursed. Stalling will have very serious long term consequences. thetransmitter.org/funding/federa…
Hi! I am a scientist who works with #biomedical data to better understand #neurodegenerative & #neuropsychiatric disorders and ovarian #cancer. My research is funded by the @NIH and nonprofits. If you have Qs about how recent changes are impacting #science, I'm happy to chat
My heart is broken for all the children that will die from this decision. Vaccines save lives. It not only to protects yourself, but also protects those that cannot get vaccinated. Also, it reduces the burden on our already overwhelmed healthcare system. apnews.com/article/louisi…
Day 1 of awesome science this week with the start of the AnVIL Community Conference. Awesome presentations by all, especially today’s keynote speakers Tychele Turner and Anshul Kundaje. Can’t wait for all the discussions tomorrow!
🔥@JHUBME is hiring in Biomedical Data Science🔥Interested in problems in healthcare and data-driven solutions? Come join us at @JohnsHopkins with amazing colleagues @neuro_data @stephaniehicks @BaselessPursuit @timp0 @coverbytaylor and many others! bme.jhu.edu/careers-indust…
I am so appreciative for how talented and creative my students are! Posted outside their office door ❤️
Today I'm thinking about the strong mentors I've been fortunate to know. In particular the women leaders in the fields in #Statistics #DataScience #Genomics #ComputationalBiology #ML #Imaging Thank you -- you are inspiration to so many, me included 🙏
Dear world, Happy #InternationalWomensDay! In honor of #IWD2023, I am extremely excited to share with you a new #childrensbook featuring some brilliant #Women in #Statistics and #DataScience! 📖 book: stephaniehicks.com/superwomen 💻 blog: stephaniehicks.com/blog/super-wom…
