3/3 With mcRigor, downstream analyses become more reliable:
✅ gene co-expression modules
✅ enhancer–gene associations
✅ temporal expression patterns
Benchmarking shows MetaCell & SEACells are better-performing methods.

2/3 At the core of mcRigor is a feature-correlation statistic with a null derived from a double permutation scheme — a brilliant idea by my postdoc Pan Liu jsb-lab.org/people/pan-l...
mcRigor detects dubious metacells and optimizes method & hyperparameter for a specific dataset.

I’m deeply thankful for the incredible support and opportunities at UCLA over the past 12 years—ever since finishing my PhD. Grateful for the journey so far and looking forward to this new chapter at the intersection of statistics and biomedical science.

Thanks, Emily! It is unfortunate that I couldn’t be there in person, but I’m glad that you found my talk useful.
