Biostatistics doctoral student Peijin Wang and master of biostatistics alum Yi Liu were honored with the 2025 Best Poster Award from the organizing committee of the annual Duke Industry Statistics Symposium (DISS) on April 9, 2025.
Wang won for the poster titled, "Joint Modeling of High-dimensional Longitudinal and Time-to-event Data using Supervised Low-rank Tensor Decomposition."
Liu won for the poster, "Targeted Data Fusion for Causal Survival Analysis Under Distribution Shift." Liu is currently a doctoral student at North Carolina State University.
This year’s symposium delved into the cutting-edge realms of biostatistics and data innovations within pharmaceutical development, particularly in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
DISS is organized by the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Duke University School of Medicine, and several industry and non-profit partners. The first symposium was established in 2013 to discuss challenging issues and recent advances related to the clinical development of drugs, biologics and devices and to promote research and collaboration among statisticians from industry, academia, and regulatory agencies.
