Zhiqian has advanced to Ph.D. student!
Zhiqian Zheng is a first-year Ph.D. student in the CPCB program. He joined the lab while pursuing his master’s degree at Pitt and will continue working on cell image analysis.
GraphVelo Published in Nature Communications
Our graphvelo paper just appeared online (Link) This work is a continuation of our efforts to place single-cell data analyses under rigorous mathematical and theoretical physics foundations, which I stress to be important. It shows how one infers velocities from a subset of genes with reliable velocity estimation based on that the data points form […]

Former postdoc Xiaojun Tian being promoted to Tenured Associate Professor at ASU
Congratulations, Dr Tian! The first tenured faculty from the lab!
We received a new NSF grant from the program of emerging mathematics in biology
Title: Mathematical analyses of multidimensional single cell transcriptional vector fields With the emergence of a new field of reconstructing large scale dynamical equations from single cell genomics data, the funded research is to address a new challenge to expand mathematical tools for downstream analyses of the dynamical equations and apply tools developed in other contexts […]
