Biography

Maiying Kong, PhD is Professor of Department of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics in SPHIS and holds the Wendell Cherry Chair in Clinical Trial Research. She leads the Biostatistics Core in the UofL Brown Cancer Center. In addition, she leads the research design, compliance and data management (RDCD) core for the NIH funded Louisville Clinical & Translational Research Lenter (LCTRC), and she serves as co-director of the Biostatistics and Informatics Facility Core (BIFC) in UofL CIEHS. She currently serves as the Principal Investigator (PI) for a Kentucky Medicaid-funded project and as a co-Investigator on 10 other NIH and DoD-funded projects. Her research areas encompass a wide spectrum, including experimental design and data analysis for preclinical and clinical studies, chemical mixture analyses, longitudinal studies, spatiotemporal data analysis, assessing treatment effects from observational data, identifying optimal treatment regimens, and clinical trial design and methods, and advanced spatial analyses for imaging mass cytometry data.

Research Interests

One of my current research interests is to study and develop appropriate statistical methods to compare effectiveness of different treatments and procedures based on observational data such as Medicaid data and electronic health record data. My other current research interest is to study and develop statistical methods for clinical trials and high dimensional data such as  imaging mass cytometry data, and link them with clinical outcomes. My previous experience and expertise includes longitudinal data analysis, mixed effect models, generalized linear models, smoothing splines, high dimensional data analyses, modeling count data, pre-clinical studies, assessing drug interactions, and assessing drug activity in xenograft models.
