PHS Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Seminar by Dr. Jason Liao
90 Hope Dr 90 Hope Dr, HersheyA dose-response curve is essential for determining the safe dosage of a drug and is widely used in bioassay and in phase 1 clinical trials. It is generally accepted that the probability of death or the probability of dose-limiting toxicity is a non-decreasing function of the dose. This paper proposes and develops an effective point-wise […]

PHS Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Seminar by Ben Lengerich, Postdoc and Alana Fellow, MIT Comp Sci and AI Lab & the Broad Institute
WebconferencePresented by: Ben Lengerich, Postdoc and Alana Fellow, MIT Comp Sci and AI Lab & the Broad Institute In biomedical data analysis, an emerging trend focuses on contextualizing observations within biological and real-world processes. This approach facilitates high-resolution, context-specific insights by integrating information across datasets, moving beyond analyzing datasets in isolation. However, modern AI systems […]
PHS Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Seminar by Shouhao Zhou and Zizhong Tian
90 Hope Dr 90 Hope Dr, HersheyPresented by: Shouhao Zhou, PhD, Assistant Professor, Division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics; and Zizhong Tian, MS, PhD Candidate The accurate assessment of inter-rater agreement (IRA) for multiple-rater binary-response data is a pivotal task in psychological, social, and medical sciences. In this work, we introduce an advanced framework exploiting multivariate Bernoulli distribution to encapsulate the statistical […]
PHS Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Seminar by Dr. Fenghai Duan, PhD, Associate Professor of Biostatistics, Department of Biostatistics, Center for Statistical Sciences, Brown University School of Public Health
WebconferencePresented by by Dr. Fenghai Duan, PhD, Associate Professor of Biostatistics Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide each year. Non-invasive medical image technologies are becoming routine in screening high-risk populations for lung cancer patients. Unlike traditional radiological imaging analysis, which is manually interpreted by radiologists, the rapid progress of computational methods […]

PHS Biostatistics and Bioinformatics by Dr. Chao Huang
WebconferencePresented by Chao Huang, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Sciences, Florida State University Alterations in subcortical brain structures, such as changes in the shape of the hippocampus, are typically interconnected and associated with the natural process of brain aging. Detecting and comprehending the geometric distinctions within these diverse subcortical brain structures is crucial for […]
PHS Biostatistics and Bioinformatics by Dr. Anne E. Justice
90 Hope Dr 90 Hope Dr, HersheyPresented by , Associate Professor, Department of Population Health Sciences, Geisinger The majority of genetic studies take a phenotype-first approach to identifying disease risk genes. This phenotype-first approach may be subject to ascertainment bias towards high penetrance alleles, miss unexpected features or symptoms of the disease, miss diseases of variable expressivity, or may overestimate disease […]
Topics in Addiction: Lasting Effects of Adolescent Stress: Changes in Physiology and Drug Behaviors
