Biyue Dai

Biyue Dai serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Minnesota. Her research focuses on the intersection of biostatistics and infectious diseases, with particular emphasis on HIV/AIDS-related complications. She maintains active collaborations with researchers in Uganda and other international settings, contributing to global health research efforts.

Dr. Dai's research interests center on biostatistical methods applied to infectious disease epidemiology, particularly HIV-associated conditions. Her work spans cryptococcal meningitis, tuberculosis diagnostics, and neurocognitive outcomes in diabetes. She specializes in designing and analyzing clinical trials and prospective cohort studies, with strong expertise in statistical methodology for infectious disease research. Her fingerprint analysis shows significant contributions in Cryptococcal Meningitis (100%), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (72%), Uganda-related research (53%), Prospective Cohort Studies (44%), and Liposomal Amphotericin B applications (44%).

Analysis of Dr. Dai's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on infectious disease epidemiology in resource-limited settings, particularly Uganda. Her work demonstrates expertise in statistical analysis of clinical trials for HIV-associated complications, with strong emphasis on cryptococcal meningitis treatment and tuberculosis diagnostics. The research shows methodological sophistication in handling complex clinical data while maintaining practical clinical relevance. Her collaborative network includes major institutions working on global health issues, particularly those addressing HIV-related complications in sub-Saharan Africa.

Dr. Dai currently leads or participates in significant research projects including

• Understanding Neurocognition in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes (UNYT1D) as Co-Investigator funded by NIH (2024-2025)
• High Dose Oral Rifampicin to Improve Survival from Adult Tuberculous Meningitis: a pharmacokinetic substudy (HARVEST-PK) as Principal Investigator funded by Radboud University and NIH (2024)

These projects demonstrate her dual expertise in both infectious disease research and diabetes-related neurocognitive studies, showing breadth in her biostatistical applications across different disease areas.

Dr. Dai's work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to good health and well-being, particularly through her research on infectious diseases in resource-limited settings. Her collaborations span multiple institutions with strong international partnerships, particularly in Uganda, reflecting her commitment to global health research that addresses health disparities.
