Welcome! We are the Edge lab, a group of researchers studying evolutionary genetics at the University of Southern California (USC). We use math, statistics, and computation to study the sources and consequences of genetic variation. We are part of USC’s Department of Quantitative and Computational Biology (QCB), which administers the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CBB) graduate program.
We are located on the 4th floor of Ray R. Irani Hall (RRI) at the University of Southern California, in the University Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Josh Schraiber's paper examining the notion of between-group heritability and related ideas is now published in PNAS. Congratulations, Josh!
Vivian Link's paper proposing a tree-based method for identifying quantitative-trait loci is now published in the American Journal of Human Genetics. Congratulations, Vivian!
Vivian Link's paper on trait-associated genetic variants in the neighborhood of forensic-genetic loci is now published in iScience. Congratulations, Vivian!
Tina Lasisi and Sanjana Paye have left Los Angeles for the University of Michigan, where Tina will be an assistant professor of anthropology and Sanjana will be an MD/PhD student. Congratulations, and we will miss you both!
Feriel Ouerghi has joined the lab as a PhD student. Welcome, Feriel!

USC OORI Names Four Awardees under the SBIR/STTR Planning Award Program
The University of Southern California (USC) Office of Research and Innovation (OORI) has announced four new awardees under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Planning Award.
The SBIR/STTR Planning Award, managed by OORI sub-unit Research Initiatives and Infrastructure (RII) intends to establish and bolster USC’s ongoing technology transfer and commercialization efforts. This innovative award program supports faculty partnered with a small business to plan and prepare for submission of a competitive SBIR/STTR application to a federal funding agency. Federally funded SBIR/STTR programs are one of the largest sources of early-stage capital for technology commercialization in the United States. These programs enable US-owned and operated small businesses to conduct research and development that has a strong potential for commercialization. Pursuit of SBIR/STTR awards externally is critical to advancing USC’s stature as a leader in innovation and commercialization, and OORI and RII are thrilled to see the increased interest and engagement amongst faculty members in receiving internal support in preparation for external SBIR/STTR submissions.
Of the new awarded faculty members, several have received support and leveraged OORIs available resources and internal funding in the past. Dr. Bodour Sahlia, one of four new awardees, has worked closely with OORI’s sub-division Research Strategy and Development for proposal submissions. Dr. Peter Wang has similarly worked with OORI and has received funding internally from RII in the past.
The 2024 SBIR/STTR Planning Award recipients are as follows:
- Proposal Title: Novel Angiotensin AT2 receptor antagonists for neuropathic pain treatment
- Proposal Title: Storage formulation of miR-145 nanotherapeutics for atherosclerosis
- Proposal Title: The development of OvaPrint, a cell-free DNA methylation test for the early detection of epithelial ovarian cancer
- Proposal Title: Engineering Ultrasound Controllable CAR T cells targeting Intracellular KRAS mutants in Solid Tumor
