WenxuanI am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where I am advised by Dr. Nilanjan Chatterjee. Before starting my PhD, I earned a B.S. in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, with a second major in Computer Science, from the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering. My research interests focus on the development and application of statistical methods and computational tools for genetic risk prediction across diverse populations. My current project involves conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in admixed populations by integrating GWAS summary statistics with individual-level data. Additionally, I am exploring methods that leverage functional annotations to enhance the performance and portability of polygenic risk scores (PRSs). My goal is to apply and adapt existing statistical methods to contribute to the development of more precise and equitable healthcare solutions.
