Albert Osom Paper Recognition
🎉 Congratulations to Mr. Albert Osom on winning an honorable mention for his paper "Developing Performance-Guaranteed Biomarker Combination Rules with Integrated External Information under Practical Constraints" from the 2025 JSM Section on Risk Analysis Student Paper Award Competition! His work on developing biomarker-based strategies to improve the early detection of pancreatic cancer is highly impressive. Well done, Albert!
A New Doctor in the House
🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Kehao Zhu on successfully earning his PhD! Well done!
PROSPECT-Lung Trial Opened
The highly anticipated PROSPECT-Lung trial, led by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology and the SWOG Cancer Research Network, has officially opened, in which Dr. Zhao serves as SWOG Study Co-Primary Statistician (SWOG).
New EJS Paper
Yingqi Zhao and collaborators published a new paper, entitled ‘Efficient surrogate-assisted inference for patient-reported outcome measures with complex missing mechanism’, in Electronic Journal of Statistics.
Science Spotlight: Improving Randomized Cancer Screening Trials
Kehao Zhu, Yingqi Zhao and Yingye Zheng published a new paper in Biometrics offering a new approach to cancer screenign trial design. Congratulations!
Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) awards Yingqi Zhao Research Grant
The 3-year award was in response to PCORI's "Improving Methods for Conducting Patient-Centered Outcomes Research" funding announcement. The study aims to develop and improve the design and analysis of randomized screening trials (RSTs) for early cancer detection. The ultimate objective is to enable more efficient and accurate trials that assess the mortality benefits of cancer screening, while also considering the potential harms, to guide informed decision-making for screening practices.
Postdoc Position Available!
Work with Drs. Yingqi Zhao and Yingye Zheng on developing statistical and machine learning methods for study designs and decision-making in disease early detection.
