Shu-Hsien Cho
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biostatistics at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center UTHealth Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, advised by Dr. Chad D. Huff. I expect to graduate in May 2027.
My research is in statistical genetics, focusing on rare variant association tests and variant prioritization in biobank-scale data. I also work on causal mediation analysis and survival analysis. See Research and Publications, or my CV.
