Cole Jensen, MPH, a PhD student in computational biology and bioinformatics, was recently awarded a National Institutes of Health (NIH) F31 grant. Jensen, a member of the Kleinstein Lab, is a computational biologist with experience in epidemiology, statistics, and evolutionary biology. His research interests include developing computational, evolutionary, and graph-based methods to study B-cell biology.
The NIH F31 funding awards, also known as the Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Awards, support predoctoral students as they become independent research scientists through mentored training during their dissertation research.
The Kleinstein Laboratory is a computational immunology group with a combination of "big data" analysis and immunology domain expertise. Steven Kleinstein, PhD, the Anthony N. Brady Professor of Pathology, leads the lab. Members focus on developing new computational methods and applying them to study human immune responses.
