Biography

Dr. Mei-Jie Zhang came to the Medical College of Wisconsin to serve as biostatistician for the Center for International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry (CIBMTR) and the Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant Registry (ABMTR) in 1992. He holds a primary appointment in the Division of Biostatistics. Professor Zhang's major research areas are survival analysis, inference from stochastic processes, non-linear models, direct modeling the competing risks data and multi-state data. As a biostatistician for the CIBMTR he is interested in developing statistical model and methodology for analyzing complex transplant data.
