		My methodological research focuses on developing statistical methods and applications to genetic epidemiology, genomics/proteomics, bioinformatics and system biology related to human complex diseases. I am particularly interested in statistical issues in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. My collaborative research includes studies of the genetics of osteoporosis, stroke, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and sickle cell disease. Please find my CV here. Some major statistical methods include, but not limited to, Nonparametric/Semi-parametric Regression Modeling Nonparametric Bayesian Statistics Generalized Linear Models Multivariate Statistics Time Series Some interested genetic topics may include, but not limited to, Rare variants 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.
