Summary
Zeyun Lu is a statistical geneticist and research fellow with nine years of quantitative research experience, currently affiliated with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School. He develops computational causal inference methods to dissect the genetic architecture of complex diseases and integrates electronic health records with AI to study genetic drivers of cancer treatment toxicity. Trained with a PhD in Biostatistics from USC and prior degrees in statistics and mathematics, he blends rigorous statistical theory with applied biomedical data science. His background includes translational work at Keck and ATRI, giving him experience across clinical study design, longitudinal health data, and applied genomics. Based in Duarte, CA, he pairs deep analytic skills with a practical taste for local culture — a self-described "Los Angeles beef noodle soup hunter" — reflecting a curiosity that extends beyond the lab.
