Dr. Jing Huang is a faculty member in the Department of Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, an assistant professor of Biostatistics in the Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics, and a senior scholar in the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine.

Dr. Huang’s research focuses on methodology development to understand the dynamics of disease activities and inform health management using multivariate longitudinal health data. She is currently a principal investigator of National Institutes of Health and Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute funded projects for characterizing disease trajectory and improving treatment in pediatric Crohn's disease, and for data integration in a Clinical Research Network.

Dr. Huang works in several exciting research areas, including risk prediction of adverse events in congenital heart disease patients using registry, hospital and claims data, dynamic intervention-based on mobile health data, knowledge discovery using electronic health records data, pharmacovigilance using safety reports from the Food Drug Administration  and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded post-market surveillance systems, and evidence generation in pediatric distributed research networks.

Working with Drs. David Rubin and Gregory Tasian, Dr. Huang is a co-PI of a project to forecast the impacts of weather and social distancing on COVID-19 transmission. The interdisciplinary team is developing methods to project daily cases of COVID-19 across the US and to support policy making. Learn more about this project.
