EDUCATION:

B.P.H. (Public Health) National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, 1993;

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.
