resume_RuiZhuang.pdf (149.75 KB)I'm a Ph.D. student in the Department of Biostatistics. I am working with Dr. Johannes Lederer and Dr. Noah Simon on the methods to model the conditional interaction structure of human gut microbiome. We are interested in a general undirected graphical model that is applicable for count-valued data, exponential data, and combinations of different types of data. The work will help biomedical scientists better understand how human gut microbes interact with each other, which is fundamental to understand the pathogenic processes of intestinal diseases and the pharmacological responses to therapeutic intervention.
I am also working with Dr. Ying Qing Chen. We are working on statistical methods for validating surrogate endpoints. In medical research, valid surrogate markers are highly desirable in study design, monitoring, and analysis, but challenges exist to identify a reliable marker. We are interested in statistical methods to measure and rank the surrogacy of potential markers.
