Mission

The primary mission of BSR is to enhance the scientific rigor of all Rutgers Cancer Institute research across the translational continuum by providing mathematical rigor and trial design accessible to Rutgers Cancer Institute members.

 

Personnel

Hao Liu, PhD, joined Rutgers Cancer Institute in July 2021 and serves as the Director of BSR and is a Professor of Biostatistics at Rutgers School of Public Health (SPH). Liu has expertise in statistical designs of early-phase clinical trials and basic and population science studies. He has published more than 120 papers in peer-reviewed journals and has served as co-investigator on numerous NIH-funded trials, on the editorial boards of J Clin Oncol and J Natl Cancer Inst, and NIH and DOD study sections.

Yong Lin, PhD, is a Professor of Biostatistics at Rutgers SPH and an expert in Phase I and II clinical trials, statistical analysis of laboratory animal experiments, and population research. Lin is an expert in Phase I and II clinical trials, with 39 publications over the last grant period. He has been a co-investigator on 17 grants from NIH/NCI, ACS, and LLS (six over the last grant period).

Liangyuan Hu, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Biostatistics at Rutgers SPH. She was recruited to Rutgers Cancer Institute in this funding period to support causal inference, missing data, and statistical machine learning. Hu leads an NCI R21 (CA245855) and a PCORI award to study Bayesian approaches to causal inference with multilevel survival data and multiple treatments in cancer and COVID-19, respectively.

Shou-en Lu, PhD, Dirk Moore, PhD, and Pamela Ohman-Strickland, PhD, are Associate Professors of Biostatistics with expertise in designing and implementing randomized trials, panel studies, epidemiological cohort and case-control studies, and the design and analysis of population-based randomized controlled trials (RCT) including clustered RCTs for the CPC program.

The BSR is expanding its expertise by recruiting two faculty statisticians.
 
The BSR also includes staff Statistician/Data Analyst & Programmer Chunxia Chen and staff Principal Statistician Shengguo Li. A second Principal Statistician (staff) is also being recruited.
