Dr. Yilun Sun is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine, and a member of the Population and Cancer Prevention Program at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center. His research focuses on developing statistical methodologies for precision medicine, causal inference, and individualized treatment regimens, with a strong emphasis on oncology data science and clinical trial design.
Dr. Sun holds a PhD in Biostatistics (2019) and MS in Biostatistics (2015) from the University of Michigan, and a BS in Chemistry (2011) from Peking University. His work bridges biostatistical innovation with practical applications, particularly in prostate cancer treatment optimization, real-world data integration, and addressing healthcare disparities through collaborative projects.
Research Interests:
- Missing data imputation and causal inference frameworks
- Machine learning for interpretable prediction models
- Optimization of treatment regimens using multi-source data
- Collaborative oncology trials and biomarker development
- Addressing healthcare inequities in clinical research
Publications highlight his contributions to prostate cancer treatment analysis (e.g., HYDRA meta-analysis, TRANSPORT study), drug interaction studies, and methodological advancements in clinical trial design. Dr. Sun serves as a Statistical Editor for the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics.
Key collaborations include the MARCAP consortium for prostate cancer data aggregation and the NAVAH trial addressing African-American breast cancer care disparities. His work emphasizes translating statistical rigor into actionable clinical insights while advocating for equitable healthcare access through evidence-based policy recommendations.
