Rate My Professor Jean Yang

Yang's contributions have been honoured with the Moran Medal from the Australian Academy of Science in 2015 for significant advancements in statistical methodology for molecular data in biomedical research. In 2025, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales. Her work has garnered substantial impact, evidenced by over 40,996 citations on Google Scholar. Key publications include 'Bioconductor: open software development for computational biology and bioinformatics' (Gentleman et al., Genome Biology, 2004, 14,936 citations), a foundational open-source platform in bioinformatics; 'Normalization for cDNA microarray data: a robust composite method addressing single and multiple slide systematic variation' (Yang et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2002, 4,468 citations); 'Statistical methods for identifying differentially expressed genes in replicated cDNA microarray experiments' (Dudoit et al., Statistica Sinica, 2002, 2,229 citations); 'Design issues for cDNA microarray experiments' (Yang and Speed, Nature Reviews Genetics, 2002, 1,121 citations); and 'Whole-genome landscapes of major melanoma subtypes' (Hayward et al., Nature, 2017, 1,634 citations). These publications have shaped methodologies in genomics and bioinformatics.
