The Rigor, Reproducibility, and Transparency (RRT) Seminar Series is a series in collaboration with the Fred Hutch Cancer Center presented by faculty from each of the several ongoing training grants at Fred Hutch and UW. Presenters include faculty from training grants at the Fred Hutch and the UW. The series is in response to NIH-mandated RRT training for trainees on training grants, F awards, and K awards. Lectures focus on a detailed discussion of common or emerging methodologies with the aim of describing strengths, limitations, and pitfalls so those employing or interpreting the data gain a realistic sense of what can and cannot be learned.

“Arguing for rigor and reproducibility in criminal court: my experience as an expert witness for the use of a new DNA sequencing technology in the trial of the Gilgo beach serial killer”

The June seminar will feature Kelley Harris, PhD, Assistant Professor, Genome Sciences, University of Washington, Assistant Professor, Herbold Computational Biology Program, Public Health Sciences Division, Member, Translational Data Science Integrated Research Center (TDS IRC), Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center
