Sophia Hu has successfully defended her Ph.D. dissertation, “Decoding Cell State Transitions Through the Lens of the Cell Cycle.” During her Ph.D. in the Xing Lab and the Joint CMU–Pitt Computational Biology Program, Sophia developed computational approaches to study cell-state transition dynamics from single-cell data, with a particular focus on how diverse biological processes are coupled with the cell cycle. Congratulations, Dr. Hu, on this exciting milestone!
