Event Details

Co-hosted by Yale Center Beijing and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University-Yale Joint Center for Biostatistics.

Event Description

The event will discuss the many opportunities and challenges presented by the big data collected by hospitals, pharmaceutical and insurance companies, universities, and government agencies. Although there is rich information in these data that can be used to significantly improve personalized health management and disease treatment, a number of barriers need to be broken down to allow both easy sharing and secure protection of diverse and unstructured data. Furthermore, efficient and robust computational approaches need to be developed and implemented to mine these data. Dr. Zhao will illustrate some of these issues with both successful and failed examples.

Event Language

The language of the event will be Chinese.

    He received his B.S. in Probability and Statistics from Peking University in 1990, and Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1995. His research interests are the applications of statistical methods in molecular biology, genetics, drug development, and personalized medicine. Some of his recent projects include large-scale genome-wide studies to identify genetic variants underlying complex diseases, biological network modeling and analysis, disease biomarker identifications, proteomics, genome annotations, microbiome analysis, and systems biology study of herbal medicine. Dr. Zhao has published over 390 articles on statistics, human genetics, bioinformatics, and proteomics, and edited two books on human genetics analysis and statistical genomics. He has trained over 70 doctoral and post-doctoral students.
