Sanjana Gupta received the DCSB Best PhD Student of the Year Award for 2019 at the CSB Annual Appreciation lunch held at the University Club on Pitt\u2019s Oakland campus, December 4, 2019. She was nominated by her co-advisors,\u00a0Dr. James R. Faeder<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Dr. Robin E.C. Lee<\/a>\u00a0for her current work on addressing the question of parameterization of mechanistic models of signal transduction. Sanjana has developed an approach based on Lasso regularization commonly used in genomics to fitting mechanistic models in order to obtain reduced or parsimonious models that describe cellular responses under specific conditions. An abstract describing this work was accepted for a talk at the recent Q-bio Conference and her presentation there was very well-received. Several members of the science community contacted both Jim and Robin to express their enthusiasm with Sanjana\u2019s presentation and current research. A pre-print of this work is available on\u00a0bioRxiv<\/em>,\u00a0Parallel Tempering with Lasso for Model Reduction in Systems Biology<\/a>. A manuscript of that preprint is under revision with\u00a0PloS Computational Biology<\/em>. Overall, Sanjana has made outstanding progress in her research during the previous year and is poised to publish several papers in the beginning of 2020 that will have a strong impact on the entire systems biology community. Congratulations Sanjana! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
