Wenyan Ji earned her MA degree in Biostatistics from the SUNY University at Buffalo (UB) (2018). She then worked for Roswell Comprehensive Cancer Center for three years as a biostatistician. She worked with Department of Urology and Surgical Oncology in pre-clinical, clinical and translational studies for a variety of disease settings and outcomes, including but not limited to cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, leukemia, Covid-19 related disease, opioid use, healthy lifestyle and tobacco use, where she provided support in methodologies developments, statistical analysis and manuscripts and proposals preparations. She is now working for Center for Biostatistics & Health Data Science (CBHDS) as a research associate. She has authored/co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed scientific publications.
