Faculty Yi-Ju Li, PhD recently traveled to to DukeNUS in Singapore to teach a two-day workshop entitled "Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Data Analysis for Complex Traits" with Dr. Qiao Fan where participants learned study design, association tests for rare variants and procedures of processing NGS data. Dr. Li also gave a talk at a conference for Statistical Inference and Machine Learning.
Dr. Li presents at a Conference on Statistical Inference.
Both events were organized by Center for Quantitative Medicine (CQM) at Duke-NUS. CQM consists of biostatisticians and epidemiologists who aim to advance medicine and improve human well-being by: (i) improving and developing quantitative methods for clinical, epidemiological and health services research, (ii) educating and mentoring biostatisticians and statistically orientated clinician scientists and medical students, and (iii) collaboration in clinical, epidemiological and health service research. CQM strives to bring biomedical research and the quantitative science communities together, as collaboration and synergism between the two is one of the keys to success in modern biomedical research. It also provides a network for quantitative scientists to interact with other colleagues in their same line of work.
