About me
I am Shu-Hsien Cho (卓書賢), a Ph.D. candidate in Biostatistics at University of Texas MD Anderson UTHealth Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, working with Dr. Chad D. Huff on statistical methods for rare-variant analysis in biobank-scale sequencing data. I expect to graduate in May 2027.
I came to statistical genetics through causal inference. After a double major in Statistics and Economics at National Chengchi University, I worked as a research assistant with Dr. Yen-Tsung Huang at the Institute of Statistical Science, Academia Sinica from 2017 to 2020, developing mediation methods for survival outcomes and analyzing clinical data on hepatitis B and liver cancer. At MD Anderson, I moved into statistical genetics and now work on rare-variant association testing and variant interpretation. See Research for details.
Outside research, I love baseball. I analyze baseball data and co-write a baseball data analysis blog (in Mandarin) with my friend. I also enjoy photography, weight training, cooking, reading, wine, beer and whiskey tasting, and contract bridge.
