- Identified the cancer-recurrence associated oncogenes with data sets from The Cancer Genome Atlas and helped provide theoretical support in diagnosis and prevention of tumor recurrence
- Utilized Purdue Scholar (a computer cluster) to perform exploratory data analysis in R on 100K+ patients and 200K oncogenes includingPerformed preliminary analysis of data and preprocessed the data set by duplicates.
- Applied two-sample t-test and Cox proportional hazards regression to identify possible significant oncogenes that influence tumor recurrencePerformed the false discovery rate (FDR) to improve the accuracy of multiple.
- Visualized results by dimensionality reduction using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify significant tumor-recurrence genomic bio-markers
