Dr. Darlene Dai PhD, MSc

Biostatistician

Department of Pediatrics

Faculty of Medicine

I have an MSc in Statistics from UBC and 7-years of work experience as a biostatistician in discovering genomic biomarkers of cancer, heart, and lung disease in academia and industry. I completed a PhD in Experimental Medicine at UBC under the co-supervision of Drs. Stuart Turvey and Raymond Ng. My research focuses on exploring and understanding the associations across infant gut microbiome, environmental factors and pediatric asthma. By using the CHILD Cohort Study, my PhD project aimed to develop a precision health approach empowered by “omics” to predict, and ultimately prevent, early-onset asthma. Please reach out if you would like to learn more about me and my research!

Research Interests: Microbiome, Atopy and Asthma
