Jinbo Chen, PhD

Professor of Biostatistics

Dr. Chen’s research focuses primarily on the development of statistical methods for designing and analyzing two-phase epidemiologic studies, on methodological and collaborative work in genetic-association studies of complex diseases, and on the development and evaluation of risk-prediction models. Dr. Chen has published numerous methods papers on the analysis of haplotypes (groups of genes within an organism that were inherited together from a single parent) using data from cohort, nested case-control, and matched case-control designs; on exploring gene-gene and gene-environment interactions; and on efficient methods for screening single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes. Her recent work has focused on design and analysis issues that arise in studies of complex genetic and environmental effects on pregnancy-related and early-life disorders. Dr. Chen collaborates with researchers to examine how genetic and environmental influences affect the risk of biliary tract cancer, childhood leukemia, preterm birth, food allergy, and cardio-metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.

About Us

To understand health and disease today, we need new thinking and novel science —the kind  we create when multiple disciplines work together from the ground up. That is why this department has put forward a bold vision in population-health science: a single academic home for biostatistics, epidemiology and informatics.
