Lin Chen, PhD

Dr. Chen's overall research interests focus on developing statistical methods for analyzing 'big' integrative genomics data. Her lab has developed statistical methods for ‘omics’ studies that involve multiple types of large-scale high-dimensional data sets, for example, genetic data, gene transcriptional expression data, proteomic data and complex phenotypes. Besides methodology development, her lab has also developed many R packages.
