Xihong Lin, Professor of Biostatistics at the Harvard School of Public Health, has been named a recipient of a MERIT (Method to Extend Research in Time) Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Less than 5 percent of NIH-funded investigators are selected to receive MERIT Awards. The award will help support Lin's development of advanced statistical methods for analyzing correlated and high-dimensional data in cancer research -- especially for analyzing longitudinal and familial data -- and high-dimensional genomic and proteomic data in epidemiological studies and population sciences.
