Collaborative research
Dr. Hu has outstanding experience in collaborating with basic scientists and clinicians. He was one of the major drivers to establish and develop the first statistical facility for omics data analysis (https://tcag.ca/facilities/statisticalAnalysis.html) in Canada when he acted as the facility’s manager in The Centre for Applied Genomics at Sickkids, Toronto. In this position, he consulted for and collaborated with more than 200 national and international basic and clinician scientists.
In the past 9 years, as a health data science lead, Dr. Hu has helped other principal investigators successfully apply for six CIHR project and team grants in human/statistical genetics, microbiome, methylation, proteomics, chemogenetics and single cell analysis.
