General Information
Dr. Tong Tong Wu received her Ph.D. in Biostatistics from the Department of Biostatistics, UCLA School of Public Health in 2006. She then held a postdoctoral researcher position in the Department of Human Genetics, UCLA when visiting the Department of Statistics at Stanford University. Dr. Wu started as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics in August, 2007.
Dr. Wu is a biostatistician with interests in survival analysis, high-dimensional data analysis, machine learning, computational statistics, and statistical genetics.
