Bio

Dr. Wang completed his PhD degree in Statistics at the University of Rochester in August, 2002 and received an MA in Mathematics and Statistics from York University, Canada in 1997. He joined the Lombardi's Biostatistics & Bioinformatics Shared Resource in September, 2002 and is working on research projects in basic science, clinical trials, and population science. While at the University of Rochester, he worked closely with faculty members in biostatistics and medical research investigators in various fields including microarray expression profiling, Parkinson's disease, and limb sparing treatments.

Research Interests

  • Design and analysis of cancer research projects
  • Survival data analysis and frailty models
  • Analysis of microarray data
  • Design and analysis of Phase I, II, and III clinical trials
