- Literature screening and identify over 1000 relevant publications.
Summer Research Intern
Yale University
Yale University
05.2021 - 09.2021
- Did extensive literature research to gain domain knowledge, demands and challenges in PDAC analysis and early stage cancer diagnosis
- Utilized R to perform preliminary analysis including univariate and bivariate analyses, correlation analyses, data imputation, variable binning and transformation etc
- Developed predictive models through multivariate regression and decision trees, identifying LYVE1, REG1B, and TFF1 biomarkers as key predictors for PDAC analysis
- Validated models through residual analysis and cross-validation
- The developed models exhibited high prediction power (AUC=0.72, KS=0.49), which provided a promising approach for early stage PDAC cancer analysis.
