Biography
Josée Dupuis, Ph.D, is an adjunct Professor of Biostatistics at Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH). She was previously Chair of Biostatistics at BUSPH. She has held a faculty position at Northwestern University and a senior statistical geneticist position at Genome Therapeutics Corporation, a small biotech company. She has extensive experience in the development and application of methods for genome-wide association studies, gene by environment interaction investigation, genetic meta-analysis and rare variant analysis, with special emphasis on the development of novel statistical approaches to analyze genetic data collected on large families. She is involved in the Framingham Heart Study, collaborating on projects to identify genes influencing diabetes related traits and pulmonary function traits.
