Jessica has received a four-year, $2.4M NIH R01 grant from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to develop statistical methods for generating in-silico controls and pseudo-replicates for single-cell and spatial omics studies. The project will offer a practical way to assess result robustness when true biological replicates cannot be obtained and will provide an easy-to-use platform for computational researchers. This work builds on Jessica’s earlier R01 on improving RNA-seq accuracy and extends her broader efforts to develop statistical tools that strengthen the reliability of high-dimensional biological data analyses. Congratulations!
