معرفی
Yuan Liu is an Associate Research Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. With 15 years of experience in medical and cancer research, she specializes in bridging statistical innovation with clinical applications through collaborations involving national cancer registries, causal inference, biomarker development, and clinical trial design.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Biostatistics, University of South Carolina
- M.S. in Statistics, University of North Carolina
- B.S. in Mathematics, National Huaqiao University
Dr. Liu's research focuses span cancer prevention and outcomes, clinical trial optimization, and statistical methodology. She has developed novel frameworks for causal inference in observational studies and created dynamic biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis. Her recent work expands into machine learning applications for epidemic modeling and pediatric healthcare analytics.
Recent research trends include: (1) innovative applications of transformers and hypergraph neural networks in healthcare, (2) systematic analysis of large language models (LLMs) for planning and bias detection, and (3) interdisciplinary work in financial time series analysis. These demonstrate her ability to adapt statistical methods to diverse domains while maintaining a core focus on medical research.
Grant collaborations include leadership roles in R01, P01, SPORE, and U54 proposals, with notable contributions as Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core director for Emory Lung P01. She has pioneered efficient analytic workflows for NCDB partnerships and developed high-performance SAS macros for complex data analysis.
