- My lab works on statistical models
to answer biological questions.
We all come from statistics or computer science backgrounds,
but we have a passion for biology
and understanding biological phenomena.
So we use our expertise from mathematics
and computer programming into helping biologists
get answers from specific phenomena
that they're studying.
- It's not sort of a place that we go to
where we do experiments with like beakers
or like, growing plants or chemicals
or really anything like that.
We rely on other scientists and other labs
who do things like that.
And then they sort of pass along their data to us.
- What I think of data science is just like,
you have a bunch of data and then you use the data to predict
or forecast what will be happening in the future.
