Research Interests

Dr. Chien-Wei (Masaki) Lin is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Biostatistics at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He joined the division in the Summer of 2017. His research expertise is statistical data analysis using different types of omics data, including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), DNA methylation, gene expression, proteomics (peptide), and metabolomics. He is particularly interested in developing statistical methodologies/tools in the fields of statistical genetics, bioinformatics, power and sample size calculation, integrative/meta-analysis and supervised/unsupervised machine learning problems. His major collaboration research groups at MCW include the Department of Pediatrics and Department of Biomedical Engineering.
