Wensheng Guo, PhD
Professor of Biostatistics
Dr. Guo joined the Biostatistics faculty at the University of Pennsylvania in 1998, and was promoted to Professor of Biostatistics in 2010. He was elected as ASA fellow in 2010 and IMS Fellow in 2023.
His research interests are broad, including functional data analysis, time series analysis and joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data. He is also interested in developing statistical methodology motivated by challenging real applications. He is interested in risk prediction, online prediction, modeling wearable data, ECG, EEG, imaging data and electronic health record data. His methodological research has been supported by several R01 grants from NIH.
His collaborative research areas include (but not limited to): Cardiology, sleep research, aging, renal diseases, chronic pain and neurology.
Current Research
Dr. Guo has three active projects. The first project is to develop subgroup analysis methods based on longitudinal profiles and apply them for patients with chronic pains. The second project is to develop online prediction methods for adverse events with applications to patients undergoing kidney dialysis. The third project is to identify novel features based on ECG raw tracing data for early detection of CVDs in patients with chronic kidney diseases. He is also actively developing online prediction methods based on optical imaging data, telemetric data and longitudinal cognitive data for various adverse health outcomes.
