Research summary
AI-generated

Dabao Zhang works at the intersection of statistics and biological/genomic data analysis, developing statistical methods for problems such as gene regulatory network inference, survival analysis, risk modeling, and dimension reduction. Much of the work applies these methods to biomedical questions, including cancer genomics, metabolomics, and autism-related data, as well as some machine learning tools like gradient boosting interpretability. The research combines theoretical statistical development with applied genomics and biomedical data analysis.
