The Li lab focuses on developing computational frameworks to overcome fundamental barriers in plant single-cell genomics, particularly for non-model organisms. By integrating enhanced genome annotations, rigorous benchmarking of analytical methods, and cross-species marker gene mapping, my work aims to improve the accuracy and scalability of single-cell data interpretation. These approaches ultimately seek to enable more […]

Her research focuses on quantitative MRI across acquisition, reconstruction, and analysis, with clinical applications in neurological diseases, pediatric imaging, cancer imaging. She is a Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors, a Junior Fellow […]

The Jill Dowen laboratory investigates how cohesin-mediated genome architecture integrates with chromatin regulators to control genome structure and gene expression. We focus on how cohesin-dependent DNA loops, histone modifications, and chromatin associated proteins cooperate to regulate enhancer-promoter communication and transcription. Using biochemical, genomic, and proteomic approaches, we define molecular mechanisms of genome regulation in normal […]

CAGT Works-in-Progress Meeting Wednesday, March 25th 1:00-2:00pm EST CIEMAS 2240

Since its inception the Schrider Lab has worked to adapt powerful machine learning methods to all manner of questions in evolutionary inference, but with a particular focus on detecting the population genetic signatures of adaptation. More recently, we have branched out to using population genetic simulations to study topics as diverse as the optimization of […]
