Song Wu

Assistant Professor Song Wu runs a statistics lab within the Department of Applied Mathematics Statistics and in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Stony Brook University. Physically, the lab is located in Room 362 in the Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology (CEWIT).

The focus of the lab is on developing and applying new statistical methodologies for the analysis of genetic and genomic data. Specifically, the research interests are:

• Statistical genetics: QTL mapping, linkage mapping, LD mapping
• Statistical genomics: microarray, SNP array, MicroRNA array, methylation array
• Next-gen data analysis: WG-seq, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, Methyl-seq
• Systems biology: gene network, pathway analysis
• Statistical learning: data mining, classification
• Statistical application to clinical studies: Longitudinal data analysis, functional data analysis, mixture models

Wu received his B.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of Science and Technology of China and his Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Florida.
