Junqing (Frank) Xie
B.S.Med, MSc, DPhil
Postdoctoral Researcher
Clarendon scholar, Jardine scholar
Pharmacoepidemiology, Pharmacogenomics, Precision medicine
I specialise in leveraging cutting-edge population research techniques to investigate impacts of postmarketing pharmaceuticals and vaccines, as well as to elucidate the pathogenesis, causal mechanisms, and consequences of complex diseases based on large-scale Omics Biobank and international Real World Data.
Prior to my role at NDORMS, I was a recipient of the Statistical Programming Training Fellowship (2018-2019) at the Oxford Big Data Institute, where I gained hands-on experience in developing well-organized and thoroughly documented statistical analysis codes, primarily in SAS and R, that serve as a model for future research initiatives.
I received training in Preventive Medicine at Shandong University (Bachelor 2015), Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Peking University (MSc 2018) in China, and Pharmacodepidemiology at Oxford University (DPhil 2023).
