QCB faculty Adam MacLean (top left) and a former CBB Ph.D. student Megan Rommelfanger (top right, now a research scientist at Altos Labs) published a paper in iScience titled “Gene regulatory network inference with popInfer reveals dynamic regulation of hematopoietic stem cell quiescence”. The method, popinfer, developed in this study, was used to discover a network of gene regulation that controls quiescence in blood stem cells, potentially contributing to healthier aging p

QCB joint faculty, Dr. Paul Thomas, has been appointed at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) in Basel, Switzerland, on a part-time basis effective October 1, 2025. During his appointment at this world-class bioinformatics program, he will maintain his appointment at USC with the plan to return full-time.

CBB Ph.D. student Will Yue Huang (left) from Dr. Fengzhu Sun’s group (right) published a paper “Quantifying microbial interactions based on compositional data using an iterative approach for solving generalized Lotka-Volterra equations” in PLoS Computational Biology . The method developed in this study, iLV, uses an iterative approach to accurately estimate parameters in the Lotka-Volterra model based on compositional data in microbiome datasets.
