报告人介绍：
Professor Rongling Wu is the Director of the Center of Statistical Genetics and Professor of Public Health Science Science and Statistics at Pennsylvania State University. His initial training in forestry and genetics at Nanjing Forestry University, China,was followed by doctoral studies in quantitative genetics and genomic mapping at the University of Washington. He then worked for eight years at the University of Florida, where he became Professor of Statistics, before moving to Penn State in 2008.
The Center of Statistical Genetics is composed of talented people trained in diverse areas, ranging from genetics and molecular biology to statistics and mathematics to computer sciences and engineering. Professor Wu’s research seeks to answer fundamental questions which have interested and puzzled biologists for many decades:
How are genes able to generate such a vast amount of variation in nature?
What developmental mechanisms guide genes to be expressed in response to environmental signals?
By developing powerful statistical models and algorithms, his multi-disciplinary group is attempting to unravel the genetic roots for the outcome of a biological trait by dissecting the trait into its biochemical and developmental pathways.
