Researcher

Catalina Vallejos

Catalina Vallejos studies biomedical data science. Her group develops statistical methods to account for differences among people, data types and measurement processes. Vallejos is a reader and group leader at Edinburgh. Her group develops statistical methods and open analysis tools for heterogeneous biomedical data. The group studies single-cell RNA sequencing, which measures gene expression separately in individual cells. Its methods address biological variation and differences introduced during data collection. A second stated application is predictive modeling from electronic health records collected through health services. Her group aims to improve understanding of health and disease.
