Dayuan Wang
Program: Ph.D. in biostatistics
Project: With the help of artificial intelligence techniques, Wang will test a series of statistical and computational strategies to improve detection of copy number variants, a type of genetic variation that involves duplications or deletions of specific genomic segments. These variations can play a significant role in the development or progression of diseases, including neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer.
Mentor: Feifei Xiao, Ph.D., associate professor, department of biostatistics
