Select from the following:
Dr. Huang’s research areas focus on the statistical design and analysis of vaccine clinical trials, monoclonal antibody clinical trials and immunological biomarker studies related to the prevention and treatment of HIV and other infectious diseases. In the past 14+ years, she has provided statistical leadership on more than 15 phase 1/2 pre-efficacy and phase 2b efficacy trials, and on several immune correlates studies related to the Ad5-based HIV preventive Step trial, the ALVAX/AIDSVAX HIV preventive RV144 trial, and the peptide-based HIV therapeutic Vacc-4x study. In recent years, she spearheaded fruitful collaborations in bridging the gap between statistical methodology and pharmacometric applications in the design and analysis of single and combination HIV monoclonal antibody trials.
Dr. Huang is also passionate about mentoring and supporting international students and scholars. She has served in the Hutch International Ambassador Program for 10+ years, and in the FHCRC undergraduate summer internship program for 3 years. She has also mentored several minority high school summer interns and co-taught 2 Statistics workshops in Brazil and South Africa.
