Hongyu Zhao, Ph.D., the Ira V. Hiscock Associate Professor of Public Health (Biostatistics) and Genetics, has received a three-year, $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation for a system biology study. Zhao and colleagues in statistics, genomics and proteomics, bioinformatics and computer science will develop an integrated approach to reconstructing biological pathways. Zhao was also awarded a pilot grant by the Yale Center for Genomics and Proteomics, where he and colleagues will research tissue- and cell-specific expression profiling of the rice genome.
