Oppotunities
With the recent radical breakthroughs in biotechnology, large amount of high throughput genetic/genomic data can now be generated almost without limit, with an ultimate goal of unraveling the hidden genetic secrets of biological functions. Well motivated by real world biological problems, my lab focuses on developing novel statistical models to help biologists to better understanding gene functions and enhance our general knowledge of biological world. We are looking for students who have strong statistical and computational backgrounds and who would like to dedicate their furture research into this cutting-edge interdisciplinary area. Interested students should contact the graduate director first for a chance of enrolling into the general statistics program.
