Matt Duan
I started my journey as a clinical surgeon after graduating from Dalian Medical University, China, and practiced at Liaoning Provincial Hospital for seven years. After that, I moved to the United States to explore my interest in biomedical research in the area of data analysis, gene therapy, and molecular biology at the University of North Carolina and Duke University. In 2013, I decided to focus my research interest on the field of data science. I was admitted into the Statistics graduate program at UNC and earned my Master’s degree in Statistics and Operations Research. I had the opportunity to join the BARU team in 2015 and performed various statistical analyses using large-scale longitudinal and cross-sectional datasets with genotyping and phenotypic information.
