BIOGRAPHYANDRESEARCH INTERESTS

I received my PhD inbiostatistics and epidemiology at Department ofepidemiology andbiostatistics,school of Public Health, Shandong University, China; andas Postdoctor inStatistical Genetics and Population Genetics inSchool of Life Science, Fudan University,Shanghai, China.My research focuses on the following areas:

(1) Developingstatisticalmethods ongeneticmapping ofcomplexdiseases, mainly on the gene- or region–based statistical methods forgenome-wide association study. methods for detecting gene-gene interaction and gene-gene co-association.

(2)Spatial genetics of human population, spatial epidemiology. mainly focus onThe spatial epidemiology of tuberculosis,hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) andHeating with platelet syndrome (HWPS); spatialgenetic structure of human populations and geneticboundariesusing spatial statistics.

(3) Health(or disease)risk appraisal, and statistical pattern recognition in Translational Medicine. The heavy burdens of cardiovascular diseaseand strokewere seen shifting from urban to rural areas in China. Without an assessment tool and method for accurate risk prediction, effective early detection and intervention becomes infeasible. Because Framingham model was designed many years ago in the United States, its limitation in study design, variable selection, and risk calculation makes it not suitable for predicting risks of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases among rural populations of China. Based on theMulticenter cohortand thelarge scalemulticenter longitudinal cohort in Shandong, China,following the principal of suitability and adaptability, we proposed to develop a new strategy of risk prediction using Bayesian hierarchical competing-risk modeling approach. This innovative strategy is able to accommodate data from multiple sources with different epidemiologic study designs (i.e., a multi-center cohort, a case-control study, and a stroke registry). By dividing lifespan into pre-stroke and post-stroke phases, within the framework of Bayesian hierarchical modeling with random-effects in describing the heterogeneity between sub-populations, we developed risk-competing models for predicting the risks of different types of stroke and those of their prognostic outcomes. The method

of Bayesian variable selection will be used in selecting significant predictors from a list of risk factors that are pre-categorized into sub-groups according to their cost and convenience in acquisition and clinical relevance. By developing a set of candidate models, each with distinctive combination of risk factors and baseline risk function estimates, the approach of Bayesian Model Averaging will be applied

to calculate averaged absolute risks, lifespan risks, and relative absolute risks to jointly describe risks of a target individual or community. By adopting this strategy, we aim to study the feasibility of developing the next-generation flexible, adaptable and suitable risk assessment methods and computing tools (instruments and computer software packages) to specifically serve varying needs of different rural populations in China. Accomplishment of this project will offer evidence in developing new methods and tools for effectively and adaptively predicting risks of not only stroke but other chronic diseases in rural area of China.

I have had extensive experience with training and mentoring. I have served as the PI onmany grantsabout geneticmapping ofcomplexdisease,spatial epidemiology and risk assessment of diseases. Through these grants we have successfully trained several young investigators most of whom are currently independently funded. Personally I have trained more than 25postgraduates and PhD trainees and most of whom remain in academic departments.
