Fei Chen

Dr. Fei Chen is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Population and Public Health Sciences at the University of Southern California. Her research focuses on genetic epidemiology, particularly the genetic contributions to cancer risk and disparities in prostate, breast, and colorectal cancers across diverse populations. She employs statistical methods and large-scale genomic studies (e.g., GWAS, WES) to identify genetic variants and their interactions with non-genetic factors. Dr. Chen has led studies on polygenic risk scores (PRS) and lifestyle factors in multiethnic cohorts. She also investigates nanomaterials for energy storage devices, such as sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries, and optoelectronic materials like graphene and black phosphorus.
