Michael C. Wu MA, PhD

Michael C. Wu, Ph.D. is a faculty member in the Biostatistics and Biomathematics Program in the Public Health Sciences Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. He participates in SWOG as a member of the statistical center. His research is focused on the development of statistical methods for high-dimensional data for translational science, particularly for application to problems arising in the "omics" sciences, including genomics, epigenomics, proteomics/metabolomics, and metagenomics, but usually not economics. This is within the context of analyzing clinical trials and population-based studies.

Prior to joining the Hutch, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the UNC Gillings School of Public Health, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Before that, he earned a Ph.D. in Biostatistics from Harvard University with a focus in Computational Molecular Biology working with Xihong Lin and was also co-advised by Tianxi Cai. In 2004, he graduated from Stanford University and took my B.S. in Mathematical and Computational Science.
