Welcome to the Wu Lab, where statistics meets genetics!


We are a Statistics lab within the Department of Applied Mathematics Statistics and in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the Stony Brook University.

The focus of the lab is on developing and applying new statistical methodologies for the analysis of genetic and genomic data. Specifically, our research interests are:
  • Statistical genetics: QTL mapping, linkage mapping, LD mapping
  • Statistical genomics: microarray, SNP array, MicroRNA array, methylation array
  • Quantitative and population genetics
  • Next-gen data analysis: WG-seq, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq
  • Gene network; pathway analysis
  • Longitudinal data analysis and functional data analysis
