Haiyi's NeurIPS 2024 Fig 2Congratulations to our group member, Haiyi Mao, for the acceptance and presentation of a first author paper at the NeurIPS 2024 international conference.  His paper is entitled “Learning Identifiable Factorized Causal Representations of Cellular Responses”, a study he started during his internship with Genentech.

In this study, Haiyi developed a new algorithm to disentangle factors directly affecting the expression of each gene. The factors he considers can be treatment-specific, covariate-specific or interaction of the two. His presentation attracted a lot of attention.

Congratulations Haiyi!
