Rui Wang

Dr. Rui Wang is working as a Biostatistician at the Biostatistics Center, Massachusetts General Hospital and a Research Associate at the Department of Biostatistics, Harvard School of Public Health.

She received her BS in mathematics from Beijing University in 1996, MS in statistics from Purdue University in 2000, and PhD in Biostatistics from Harvard University in 2008. Prior to entering the PhD program, she worked as a Biostatistician in the Harvard School of Public Health, Center for Biostatistics in AIDS Research from 2000 to 2005. Her research interests include statistical methodology development for design and analysis of clinical trials, and for HIV prevention strategies. Dr. Wang and her colleagues have developed testing and interval estimation procedures for 2-sample survival comparisons with small sample sizes and unequal censoring, proposed a nonparametric interval estimation procedure for the percentiles of random effects meta-analysis, and introduced an augmented cross-sectional design for studies estimating HIV incidence using a sensitive and less-sensitive diagnostic test.  Dr. Wang is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Biometrics and Biostatistics and a statistical reviewer for the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. She is also a member of the American Statistical Association, the International Biometrics Society, and International Chinese Statistical Association.
