Jingning Zhang

I am a PhD candidate in Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Professor Nilanjan Chatterjee. I received an BS in Pure & Applied Mathematics from Tsinghua University in 2018, advised by Associate Professor Lin Hou (侯琳) and Professor Ying Yang (杨瑛).

My research focuses on developing novel statistical methods for large-scale genetic, genomic, and clinical studies. Specifically, my areas of interest include statistical genetics, genetic risk prediction, and human plasma proteome.
