James Dai, Ph.D.
Professor
Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutch
James Dai’s Lab works in statistical genetics and genomics, design and analysis of randomized clinical trials, statistical methods for high-dimensional feature selection and prediction, gene-treatment interaction, mediation and instrumental variables regression. Methodologically, we are also interested in cancer genomics topics, for example sequencing data analysis and integrative genomic analyses. The overarching scientific interest is to discover and validate cancer genomic markers that drive cancer etiology, predict cancer prognosis and treatment efficacy.
