Presenter: Danica Sutherland, PhD, Assistant Professor, Computer Science, The University of British Columbia
Title: Detecting conditional dependence in practice: why it's so hard, and what we can do
Abstract: Many important problems across statistics and machine learning reduce to tests of conditional (in)dependence: it essentially characterizes causality, and many causal discovery algorithms indeed use conditional (in)dependence tests as subroutines, as well as being a core measurement of the out-of-distribution robustness and fairness of predictive models. Shah and Peters (2020) showed that, contrary to the unconditional case, no universally finite-sample test with nontrivial power can exist. While informative, this result does not seem to (directly) explain the frequent practical failures observed with popular CI tests in difficult settings, particularly those conditioning on data more structured than a scalar. We investigate the failure modes of the Kernel-based Conditional Independence test (KCI, Zhang…

Her research has brought global attention to the plight of sanitation workers, while her work in the California prison system has led to statewide directives improving indoor air quality in carceral settings.
A cornerstone of Dr. Sklar's work is her commitment to developing community capacity in environmental health research and policymaking. She actively mentors community partners across sub-Saharan…

Biostatistics Seminar: Statistical Frameworks for Dissecting Genetic Regulation in the Human Transcriptome
Presenter: Pejman Mohammadi, PhD, Associate Professor, UW School of Medicine; Principal Investigator, Seattle Children’s Research Institute
Title: Statistical Frameworks for Dissecting Genetic Regulation in the Human Transcriptome
Abstract: Transcriptomic diversity across individuals arises from multiple layers of RNA regulation, including pre-mRNA expression, splicing, degradation, and other processes. Yet most analyses remain confined to total gene expression. Modern RNA sequencing captures a wide spectrum of regulatory modalities such as alternative transcription initiation and termination, RNA stability, and isoform usage, offering a multidimensional view of RNA biology. However, integrating these heterogeneous signals into coherent statistical frameworks remains a major challenge.
I will begin by outlining how transcriptomic data bridge genetic variation and phenotype, then introduce Pantry, a multimodal framework that systematically generates diverse RNA phenotypes and integrates them with genotype…

Seventh Seattle Symposium in Biostatistics - Online Short Courses
The role of causal inference in biomedical research: dare we speak of ‘effect’?
The field of causal inference has seen a massive expansion in recent years and is now one of the most active areas of biostatistical research. The concepts and tools developed in causal inference are intended to support practitioners in their quest for evidence on causal relationships, often critical for scientific progress. While powerful, these tools can also be easily misunderstood or misused — this has made some biostatisticians and epidemiologists apprehensive of the growing prominence of the field.
The symposium will address: how causal inference can be leveraged to inform the design and enhance the analysis of observational and randomized studies, including combinations of both; , how causal inference has stimulated the integration of machine learning into statistical inference; , how causal inference provides clarity on assumptions that suffice to infer causality from different study designs and informs strategies for…

Workplace dynamics in recent years have been a dizzying storm of broken promises. Companies that once encouraged employees to “come as you are” and bring your full, authentic self to work are now shutting down initiatives, part of an ongoing cycle of trading on our identities when it’s convenient and profitable.
Jodi-Ann Burey, writer and critic known for her TED talk “The Myth of Bringing Your Full, Authentic Self to Work,” delves into the dangers of disclosure in environments that aren’t built for our well-being. With insights from pop culture, academic research, and interviews with other professionals of color, Burey argues that we deserve better than shallow ploys for representation.

Speaker: Saori Sakaue, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Genome Sciences, University of Washington
Presentation: Integrating genetics and single-cell genomics to define non-coding mechanisms of common and rare diseases
Abstract: Decades of genetic studies have systematically identified hundreds of thousands of associations between genotypes and human diseases. However, defining disease causal variants and genes within loci identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has been extremely challenging, since 90% of disease alleles reside in non-coding regions, where disease alleles regulate gene expression rather than alter protein sequence. Only rarely can we pinpoint causal variants or their effector genes, as regulation can act over long distances and in a tissue-specific manner. Accurate enhancer-gene maps from disease-relevant cell types could prioritize causal alleles and genes, but current enhancer-gene maps are based on bulk-tissue datasets. These assays often do not capture granular…

Seventh Seattle Symposium in Biostatistics - Online
The role of causal inference in biomedical research: dare we speak of ‘effect’?
The field of causal inference has seen a massive expansion in recent years and is now one of the most active areas of biostatistical research. The concepts and tools developed in causal inference are intended to support practitioners in their quest for evidence on causal relationships, often critical for scientific progress. While powerful, these tools can also be easily misunderstood or misused — this has made some biostatisticians and epidemiologists apprehensive of the growing prominence of the field.
The symposium will address: how causal inference can be leveraged to inform the design and enhance the analysis of observational and randomized studies, including combinations of both; , how causal inference has stimulated the integration of machine learning into statistical inference; , how causal inference provides clarity on assumptions that suffice to infer causality from different study designs and informs strategies for…
