Education and Experiences
I had a PhD in Genetics (2004, King's College London), master's (1988, Fudan University) and bachelor's (1985, Shandong University) degrees in medicine. I am a scientist at the MRC Epidemiology Unit (BioSketch and ResearchGate). My past positions included statistician (2002-4) at UCL (Department of Epidemiology and Public Health), postdoc research worker and lecturer (1996-2002) at KCL (Institute of Psychiatry, zhao69, zhao66), visiting scientist (1994-6) at Harvard (School of Public Health and Channing Laboratory) and research associate (1988-94) at MOH (Center for Health Statistics Information), China.
Research
I am interested in statistical computation, genetic epidemiology and public heatlth. I am a member of the Royal Statistical Society and have been recently involved with data analysis for large studies including Whitehall II, EPIC-Norfolk and Framingham. I am a regular reviewer for The Lancet and occasional or one-off reviewer for Am J Hum Genet, Ann Hum Genet, Bioinformatics, BMC Med Genet, Cancer Informatics, Diabetologia, Euro J Hum Genet, Hum Hered, J Med Sys, JRSSC (Appl Statist) , Int J Cancer, Plant Inbreeding, PLoS Medicine, Psychiatric Genet, Stat Meth Med Res, The Open Epidemiol J. I was also one-off referees for fellowship and grant applications made to Wellcome, NSF and MRC. You can find my electronic notes and bookmarks MRC-- UCL--KCL with a request, diagram in AMOS.
Computer Software
I have distributed software for genetic data (in Rockefeller list or at CRAN with citations from Google) in various programming languages including Fortran, C, SAS, R or Linux/Unix script. I would be greatly encouraged if you e-mail me comments and reference(s) using them. I also keep a list of R packages or functions for genetic data.
