Yufan served as one of eight team leads at the Colin Stroud Hackathon and her team received third place.

The Colin Stroud Hackathon brings together trainees, data scientists, computational biologists, researchers and clinicians to collaborate and explore innovative approaches at the intersection of spatial multi-omics, cancer biology and AI-driven data science.

Excited to serve as Co-Chair Track Leader for the Single Cell and Spatial Omics track at STATGEN 2026. Abstract submissions are now open at https://statgen26.emory.edu. See you in Atlanta!

Congratulations, Zihan!

Our collaborative work with Dr. Ziyi Li’s group, titled “Accurate Imputation of Pathway-specific Gene Expression in Spatial Transcriptomics with PASTA” has been accepted by Nature Communications. Congratulations to Ruoxing!

Congratulations to Zihan, Yufan, and Yutong, whose posters were accepted for presentation at the James P. Allison Institute 3rd Annual Scientific Symposium.

The symposium will take place on October 24, 2025, at TMC3 Helix Park in Houston, Texas.

Congratulations, Yutong!

Yuchen received the Aurelia Murphy Killian Endowment in Public Health Award! Congratulations to Yuchen!

We are grateful to MDA for awarding us the Institutional Research Grant, which will support the development of new methodologies for spatial omics data analysis. Our proposal was selected as one of the top 20 among all applications at MDA.
