My research interests include statistical genetics, statistical genomics/proteomics, and system biology with the applications in human complex diseases. I am particularly interested in statistical problems in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data.The interested human diseases may include Cadiovascular diseases, Parkinson's/Alzheimer's diseases, Infectious diseases, and Cancer.

Some major statistical methods include, but not limited to,

• Nonparametric/Semi-parametric Modeling
• Generalized Linear Models
• Nonparametric Bayesian Statistics
• Multivariate Statistics
• Time Series

Some interested genetic topics may include, but not limited to,

• Rare variants
• Synthetic (combined rare and common variants) association
• Secondary and/or multiple phenotypes, and pleiotropic genetic associations studies
• Joint analysis family and unrelated case-control data
• Gene-gene interactions, gene-environment interactions, protein-protein interactions
• Genomic and sequences analysis
• Combined genetic variants with the underlying genetic regulation pathways and gene expression to dissect the etiology of disease.

News: I will go to Heidelberg, Germany to attend 20th Annual International Genetic Epidemiology Society meeting from September 18th to 20th, 2011, and I will give a talk as a finalist of James V. Neel Young Investigator Award... Yeah! Click here here to see the slides.

News: Our new paper titled "Bayesian inference for genomic data integration reduces misclassification rate in prediction of protein-protein interactions" is reported online by genomeweb. Click here to see the report.
