Biostatistician, IHRP Methodology Research Core

Tianxiu Wang, PhD, is a biostatistician in the Methdology Research Core of the UIC Institute for Health Research and Policy. Prior to joining IHRP in 2017, she worked on research for over six years at the University of Pittsburgh, including as a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Medicine.

Dr. Wang has experience in the design and analysis of clinical data using general and generalized linear mixed models, survival analysis, latent group-based trajectory models, prediction model building, environmental/occupational risk assessment using mathematical modeling, and meta-analysis.

Dr. Wang earned a PhD in biostatistics from the University of Pittsburgh in 2015. In her dissertation, Dr. Wang developed a competing risks regression model under random signs censoring using pseudo-values, which can be applied to modify/improve the organ allocation algorithm for liver transplant candidates.
