Menglu Liang

Dr. Menglu (Maggie) Liang is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Maryland. She holds a PhD in Biostatistics from Penn State University, a Master’s in Biostatistics from the University of Minnesota, and a Master’s in Epidemiology from Johns Hopkins University. Her research focuses on biostatistical methods applied to cardiovascular disease early detection, dynamic survival analysis, and Bayesian network meta-analysis.

Education:

• PhD in Biostatistics, Penn State University (2023)
• MS in Biostatistics, University of Minnesota (2019)
• ScM in Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins University (2016)

Research Interests: Dr. Liang’s work integrates biostatistical techniques with epidemiological studies to address public health challenges. Key areas include cardiovascular disease biomarkers, environmental health impacts (e.g., extreme heat, wildfires), and methodological advancements in meta-analysis and survival modeling.

Recent Research Trends: Her publications emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, combining clinical data with statistical rigor to assess lifestyle interventions, environmental exposure risks, and molecular-level health mechanisms. Recent studies explore step-count metrics in metabolic syndrome populations, heat-related occupational illnesses, and genomic correlates of brain aging.

Advising & Grants: While specific grant details are not listed, her academic role suggests involvement in collaborative research projects. No lab affiliations are explicitly mentioned in the provided materials.
