Arindam RoyChoudhury

Assistant Professor of Biostatistics


Biography:
Arindam Roy Choudhury, PhD, has primary research interest in statistical genetics, focusing on linkage analysis, population genetics and phylogenetics. More recently, Dr. Choudhury has worked on the statistical testing of genetic imprinting and also has interest in the field of composite likelihood and Stochastic Modeling. Dr. Roy Choudhury is currently working on an NIH funded research project on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
