Bayes Regularization and Microbiome Multi-Omics: A Two-Tailed Narrative - Dr. Mallick
Biostatistics Branch Seminar Series
In this talk, I will present a statistical narrative of two seemingly different but equally exciting topics: Bayes regularization and microbiome multi-omics, drawing upon my PhD and postdoc experience of researching in two vastly different academic settings.

Novel Epidemiological Risk Models, with Application to Screening - Dr. Cheung
Biostatistics Branch Seminar Series
My research interest focuses on the development of statistical methods for analyzing electronic health record data, using these methods to model the natural history of intervening stages in the carcinogenic process, and the development of evidence-based cancer screening guidelines. I will discuss some of the critical statistical challenges involved in analyzing such data, and why standard tools for absolute and relative risk estimation are biased. I will introduce new statistical models that can be used to produce unbiased estimates in cohort studies with multiple time point data and biospecimen collection. These models are used to develop new risk-based management guidelines for cervical cancer. I will also discuss risk models and benefit models for oral cancer and lung cancer screening.

Feature Selection with Survival Outcome Data - Dr. Hong
Biostatistics Branch Seminar Series
Detecting biomarkers that are relevant to patients' survival outcome is crucial for precision medicine. Dimension reduction is key in the process. Although regularization methods have been used for dimension reduction, they cannot handle a large number of candidate biomarkers generated by modern bio-techniques. Variable screening, which has been widely used for handling exceedingly large numbers of variables, is however much underdeveloped for censored outcome data.

Methods for Population Health with Limited Data - Dr. Li
Biostatistics Branch Seminar Series
Data describing health outcomes of hidden populations and in low-resource areas are usually noisy and incomplete. In this talk, I will discuss two projects in such data-constrained settings.
