Current Research Interests

Ms. Zhou’s main collaboration has been with the Gynecologic Oncology Group. She has significant experience in the area of: (1) survival outcomes prediction; (2) biomarkers exploration; (3) nomogram construction and (4) association examination. She is also involved in several projects conducting array CGH analysis using prostate cancer clinic data and cell-line data, gene expression analysis and microRNA analysis range from prostate cancer, endometrial carcinoma to mesothelioma. Most recently, she is in involved in research such as applying the penalized likelihood approach in evaluating the biomarkers and environmental factors interaction and applying variety of Mendelian Randomization methodologies to evaluating proteins’ effecting on breast cancer subtypes using GWAS data.
