Pingfu Fu

Pingfu Fu, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine. He is also a member of the Developmental Therapeutics Program at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center. His expertise spans biostatistics, mathematics, and computer science, with a focus on cancer research and HIV/AIDS. Dr. Fu advises researchers on study design and statistical methodology for clinical and pre-clinical studies. He teaches courses in survival data analysis and clinical trials, and was recognized as 'Professor of the Year' in 2010 by the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.

Education: PhD in Biostatistics (Case Western Reserve University, 2001), MS in Statistics (Case Western Reserve University, 1996), MS in Mathematics (Xiangtan University, 1988), and BS in Mathematics (Jiangxi Normal University, 1984). His research interests include survival analysis, tree-based methods, clinical trials, and statistical applications in medical research. He has co-authored numerous peer-reviewed articles, focusing on cancer disparities, radiomics, and computational pathology.

Professional memberships include the American Statistical Association, American Mathematical Society, and American Cancer Society. Dr. Fu holds editorial roles at Reviews on Recent Clinical Trials, Journal of Clinical Oncology, and Journal of the National Cancer Center. His work has addressed mathematical challenges in stochastic processes and resolved statistical issues in study design and tree-based models.

Notable contributions include developing risk prediction models for cancer outcomes and advancing interdisciplinary collaborations across oncology, biostatistics, and computer science. His lab focuses on integrating computational methods with clinical data to improve patient outcomes.
