Biography

Dr. Zhenqiu Liu is an Associate Professor at the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health and Greenebaum Cancer Center University of Maryland at Baltimore. His research interests are in the broad area of statistical genetics bioinformatics and data mining. Currently his efforts are concentrated on the integrated analysis of human genomic and metagenomic data ROC based methods for biomarker evaluation and prediction efficient methods for cohort and observational data and statistical analysis for network and system biology. He has a MS in Computer Science and PhD in Management Science Operations Research with concentration in data mining both from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville UTK.

Research Interest

Statistic Genetics, Bioinformatics, and Data Mining: Currently I am working on projects in (1) ROC based methods for gene selection, pathway identification, and biomarker discovery, (2) GWAs, gene-gene interaction and genetic networks, and rare allele identification, (3) integrated analysis for multi-source genomic data, and (4) causal inference and biomarker identification and evaluation in clinical and translational cancer research. I am interested in both methodology and collaborative research and constantly looking for investigators who are willing to use cutting-edge machine learning and statistical computing techniques in their study.
