Jiyuan Hu, PhD

As an assistant professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s Department of Population Health, Division of Biostatistics, my primary research interests lie in the development of statistical, computational, and machine learning approaches for the analysis of high-dimensional ‘-omics’ data, EHR data, and other multi-modal data. I collaborate on broad biomedical research projects throughout the school and provide biostatistical support for randomized/cluster-randomized/pragmatic clinical trials.

Currently, I am the principal investigator of an NIH-funded study (1R03DK138490) that studies the comprehensive role of microbiome in the development of Type I diabetes, and co-investigator of various National Institutes of Health- and foundation-funded projects. Additionally, I serve as associate director of NYU Langone’s Biostatistics Resource and co-lead of CSAAH’s Investigator Development Core.

I was a PI of a pilot study that utilizes high-dimensional metabochip data for the prediction of coronary artery calcification progression (supported by the NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health (CSAAH), NIH-NIMHD U54MD000538-19)
