JXTX: The James P. Taylor Foundation for Open Science is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2025 JXTX+CSHL Biology of Genomes Scholarships. The JXTX Foundation provides support for students to attend conferences in computational biology and data science, where they can present their work and form connections with other researchers in the field.
Six genomics and data sciences graduate students from around the globe were awarded this set of JXTX+CSHL scholarships. These awardees will present their work at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Biology of Genomes Conference being held May 6-10. Awardees represent six institutions and are presenting a wide range of research at the meeting.
Will is an undergrad in the Kreimer lab. His research focuses on the development of computational methods to understand cell type-specific networks of cis-regulatory interactions and their perturbations. He has presented his findings at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the American Society of Human Genetics. He has published open-source software in Genome Biology and Bioinformatics. Will is planning to pursue a Ph.D. in computational biology and genetics.
