RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Tampa, FL

Statistical Data Analyst/Research Intern - Biostatistics Core

June 2009 to present

. The project tried to determine if a new treatment significantly

improves patients' status in comparison with the control. It was

postponed for 6 months due to short hand in biostatistics core. After

thoroughly discussed with faculty biostatistician and physician about

how the protocol was designed, the project goal and the data status

and limitation, along with heavy graduate study workload,

independently selected statistical method and conducted the actual

analysis by using linear mixed model and generalized linear model.

. Applied SAS program to clean, manipulate, extract healthcare data.

Created analytical datasets from data sources to develop variables for

modeling. Responsible for project program coding, program validation,

documentation and tables. Interpreted the statistical outputs,

prepared the written reports and wrote the manuscript for

publications. Both physician and supervisor very appreciated my

excellent timely hard work and promised future awards, including my

name to be listed as third author in the publication.

Graduate Studies - Dept of Mathematics and Statistics

. Bayesian Analysis of Steady-State Kinetics of 5-Aminolevulinate

Synthase. Computation of kinetics parameters is crucial for

understanding the mechanism of human diseases. The data were collected

from my designed biochemical experiments. Through transformation of

the data, used multiple linear regression model to estimate the

kinetic parameters, which is consistent with the previously published

ones fitted by the nonlinear model. Further, after the posterior

distribution is constructed, simulated the kinetic parameters, which

are exactly in agreement with our previous results, and model

checking indicated that the model is consistent with the dataset.

. Analysis of Secondary Outcomes of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity

Disorder (ADHD) Intervention by Multivariate Generalized Linear Model.

The longitudinal data were collected by clinic physicians, who tried

to find new affordable method to improve daily life of the children

with ADHD. The trial consists of two groups, video-conference and

face-to-face. First, imported data from Excel; second, cleaned data,

checked data for outlier; third, tested sample data possible

distributions and selected analytical method and model to deal with

missing data; finally, explained SAS output, wrote final report and

discussed the result limitation.

. Multivariate Regression Analysis of Primary and Secondary Outcomes of

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Intervention.

Obviously, this project focused on the primary outcome. Unlike above

project, the primary data consist of the pre-treatment and post-

treatment. By using multivariate regression analysis, statistically

distinguished the difference of two groups of children with ADHD in

both pre-treatment and post-treatment. In this study, tried several

covariance structures to cope with data correlation and chose the

best.

. Imported SAS data from a variety of sources using SAS code and

exported SAS data to various targets using SAS code. All projects were

done by using SAS base, SAS macro, SAS SQL and SPLUS/R.

University of South Florida, and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research

Institute, Tampa, FL 1999 - 2006

Research Associate - Dept of Pathology & Cell Biology, and Dept of

Molecular Oncology

. Planned and conducted experiments, designed experimental device,

collected and analyzed data on the basis of biomedical and statistical

principles.

. Developed, optimized and modified several biochemical protocols. Six

peer-reviewed articles were published in top American life science

journals. Gave two presentations in the national biomedical field

conferences. As a key member in a NIH-funded laboratory for 5 years.

. Used linear models and nonlinear models for the regression of reaction

data. Furthermore, predicted and stimulated the reaction mechanism.

Interpreted the reaction mechanisms by applying biochemical and

statistical principles.

Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao, China

1991 - 1994

Research Associate - Institute of Oceanography

. Collected, documented, verified, maintained a decade of Jiaozhou bay

nutrients data, and then analyzed the data by using Microsoft Excel.

This was the first time to use statistical principle and method to

analysis nutrients ratio since this national project had begun. The

discovery of dynamic trend of nutrients structure deeply affected the

national coast ecology policy.

. Two original research papers were published in top Chinese science

journals.
