Applied Statistics - Nan Laird & Christoph Lang
This week the Applied Statistics Workshop will present a talk by Nan Laird, Professor of Biostatistics in the Harvard School of Public Health, and Christoph Lang, Assistant Professor of Biostatistics in the Harvard School of Public Health.
Before joining the Department of Biostatistics, Professor Laird received her Ph.D. in Statistics from Harvard and was an Assistant Prof. of Statistics at Harvard. She has published extensively in Statistics in Medicine, Biostatistics, American Journal of Human Genetics and the American Journal of Epidemiology among others. Her research interest is the development of statistical methodology in four primary areas: statistical genetics, longitudinal studies, missing or incomplete data, and analysis of multiple informant data.
Professor Lang earned his Ph.D. in Applied Statistics from the University of Reading, and has been a member of the Department of Biostatistics since then. His publications have appeared in Biostatistics, the American Journal of Human Genetics, Genetic Epidemiology, and Genetics. Prof. Lange's current research interests fall into the broad areas of statistical genetics and generalized linear models. Recent topics in statistical genetics include family-based association tests, meta-analysis of linkage studies, GEE-methods in linkage analysis and marker-assisted selection.
Prof. Laird and Prof. Lang will present a talk entitled “Statistical Challenges and Innovations for Gene Discovery”. An abstract for the talk and associated background papers are available from the course website. The presentation will be at noon on Wednesday, November 1st, in Room N354, CGIS North, 1737 Cambridge St. Lunch will be provided.
