Biography

Yijian (Eugene) Huang, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University.

Prior to joining Emory in 2004, he was a faculty member with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and served as a statistician for a number of multi-center HIV prevention and AIDS therapeutic clinical trials.

Dr. Huang is member of the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Program at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University.

Education

Dr. Huang earned his PhD from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, in 1997.

Titles & Roles

Professor, Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics

Research

Dr. Huang develops innovative statistical methods for the analysis of incomplete follow-up data and covariate measurement error, and applies them to HIV/AIDS, cancer, and renal disease studies. Recent methodological contributions include new approaches to quality-adjusted survival time, multi-state processes, lifetime medical cost, varying-coefficient models, errors-in-covariates models, and censored quantile regression.

He is principal investigator or co-investigator/biostatistician of several NIH- or NSF-funded projects on HIV/AIDS, kidney, and cardiovascular disease research as well as statistical methodology development.
