Dr. John Storey

Biography

John Storey is the William R. Harman '63 Mary-Love Harman Professor at the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University. His research focuses on developing and applying quantitative methods in genomics, particularly in relation to functional genomics and high-dimensional data sets. Storey's work aims to tackle problems arising from large amounts of noisy data and he emphasizes the development of theoretical methods in statistics and machine learning. His research explores various types of large-scale genomic data such as mRNA expression, protein expression, metabolite levels, and chromatin structure. The overarching goal of his research is to utilize high-throughput genomic data to understand biological regulatory networks and the molecular basis of complex traits. He investigates causal regulatory networks, gene expression variation, and the evolutionary forces acting on genetic variation. His theoretical contributions to high-dimensional statistical inference and causal modeling provide significant insights into complex biological systems.
