The scope of Quantitative Methods in Public Health is broad, ranging from biostatistics to bioinformatics to biomedical data science, as well as experimental design, and other quantitative methods as applied to public health and biomedicine in general. We aim to become a hub of these focuses on the UC San Diego campus.

Dr. Xin Tu is a Professor of Biostatistics in the Division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics. His group specializes in semiparametric and machine learning models and their applications to mental health and psychosocial research, and has extensive collaborations with investigators and multiple centers at UC San Diego. The group’s statistical methodologic research focuses on models for between-subject attributes, a new paradigm for facilitating infererence for classic statistical models for within-subject attributes, as well as modeling emerging high-dimensional data arising in biomedical and network research.
