RESEARCH:
Dr. Hsu's methodological research interests are in the development of statistical methods in genetic
epidemiology and longitudinal data. Specifically, she has developed a statistical method to directly
localize susceptibility genes via multipoint linkage disequilibrium mapping. Her current collaborative
research focuses on the mapping of genes for complex traits including type II diabetes, stroke, and
prostate cancer. Also she has been involved in few aging studies where she applies the statistical
methods in observational and clinical trial studies.
