Byung Park

Byung Park serves as Professor of Biostatistics at the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, Director of the Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR) at Knight Cancer Institute, and Associate Director of the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core (BBC) at Oregon National Primate Research Center. With continuous service since 2002, he provides critical statistical leadership for oncology and primate research initiatives across Oregon Health & Science University.

His educational foundation includes:

• B.A. (1990) from Sung Kyun Kwan University
• M.S. (1992) from Sung Kyun Kwan University
• Ph.D. (2002) from Oregon State University

Dr. Park specializes in oncology clinical trial design and immunology analysis, maintaining 20+ years of collaboration with Knight Cancer Institute and Oregon National Primate Research Center. His research integrates biostatistical methods with translational studies in cancer biomarkers, aging neuroscience, and perinatal health, particularly investigating maternal smoking effects and vitamin C interventions. This work frequently employs advanced longitudinal modeling and multi-omics integration.

His publication record reveals consistent contributions to high-impact journals, with recent emphasis on pancreatic cancer biomarkers, primate aging models, and perinatal epigenetic mechanisms. Collaborative projects span statistical methodology development for complex clinical endpoints and biomarker validation in diverse disease contexts.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Jerome Lee Award from Oregon State University (2002)
• AACR Cancer Biostatistics Workshop Scholarship (2008)

As active reviewer for Knight Cancer Institute's Clinical Research Review Committee and Data Safety Monitoring Committee, Dr. Park ensures methodological rigor in clinical trials. He mentors junior biostatisticians through his leadership roles while developing statistical frameworks for grant-funded research across OHSU.

The Biostatistics Shared Resource under his direction supports over 100 cancer research projects annually, while the BBC at ONPRC provides bioinformatics infrastructure for primate studies, creating synergies between statistical innovation and biological discovery.
