A presentation by Jingyi Jessica Li, a professor in the Department of Statistics (primary) and the Departments of Biostatistics, Computational Medicine, and Human Genetics (secondary) at UCLA. Li leads a research group called the Junction of Statistics and Biology, where she and her students focus on developing statistical and computational methods to answer important questions in biological and biomedical sciences and to extract key information from genomics and health-related data. 

 

During her talk, Li will share personal and professional experiences that illustrate why she became fascinated with biology and then statistics. She'll talk about examples that highlight the importance of statistical thinking and its application to biomedical research.

 

Li has received multiple awards and grants from National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and other institutions, including the Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D Scholars Award (2018), a Sloan Research Fellowship (2018), an NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program Award (2019), and a spot on the MIT Technology Review 35 Innovators Under 35 China list (2020).
