Bibo Jiang

Bibo Jiang, PhD, MA, is an Assistant Professor at Penn State University College of Medicine, affiliated with the Department of Public Health Sciences Division of Health Services and Behavioral Research. Their work spans computational genomics, genetic epidemiology, and public health, with a focus on autoimmune diseases, trans-ancestry genetic architecture, and electronic health record integration.

Research Interests include:

• Autoimmune disease gene mapping via single-cell eQTLs
• Development of integrative methods for GWAS and biobank data
• Sex-specific and trans-ancestry genetic analysis
• Environmental risk factors and air pollution causal effects
• Telehealth adoption in mental health populations

Scientific Trends: Recent publications emphasize multi-omics integration (2024-2025), trans-ancestry meta-analysis, and precision medicine applications for autoimmune conditions. Key methodologies involve expression prediction, polygenic scores, and large-scale causal inference using >50 million MarketScan individuals.

Grants & Projects: CoPI on NIH-funded work (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2022-2024) to develop methods for sex-specific genetic architecture analysis.
