Description
Dr. Wang will present ELLA, a spatial non-homogenious Poisson process-based method for identifying genes with unique subcellular localizations and associates these patterns with specific mRNA characteristics, supporting the advancement of personalized medicine; and introduce BI-GMRF, a Gaussian Markov random field-based mediation analysis for 3D brain imaging. Using BI-GMRF, we identified brain regions vulnerable to treatments that impact late neurocognitive outcomes in a medulloblastoma trial.
