Overview

Dr. Jin Piao is an Associate Professor from the Division of Biostatistics, Department of Population and Public Health Sciences, the University of Southern California. She has been working on the development of methodological approaches that have direct impacts on biomedical applications. Her research interest lies in the areas including clinical trial design and analysis, survival analysis, semiparametric statistical models, and meta-analysis. In addition to statistical methodological research, she has been actively collaborated with physicians and biologists in pediatric solid tumors areas and supported several phases I, II, or III solid tumors clinical trials at Children’s Oncology Group.
