About me

I am Xutao Wang, a Ph.D. candidate in Biostatistics at Boston University, where I am fortunate to be mentored by Dr. W. Evan Johnson from the Department of Medicine at New Jersey Medical School and Dr. Prasad Patil from the Department of Biostatistics at Boston University. Prior to this, I obtained my M.S. degree in Computational Biology from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, under the guidance of Dr. Giovanni Parmigiani. I earned my B.S. degree, majoring in Statistics and Molecular Biology, from the University of Toronto, Canada.

My research focuses on developing and applying computational methodologies in transcriptomic data, especially in studying genomic biomarkers for tuberculosis diagnostics and combining models trained in heterogeneous data. Major research topics include:

• Infectious disease diagnostics
• Biomarker analysis
• Domain generalization
• Breast cancer research
