Enoch Yi-Tung Chen

I am a statistician at the Division of Clinical Epidemiology (KEP), Department of Medicine Solna, Karolinska Institutet. My main research interests include developing and applying methods for population-based cancer epidemiology and for health technology assessment.

Currently, my work is primarily focused on 

(i) Horizon Europe-Prediction and prevention of late effects in AYA cancer survivors (PredictAYA),

(ii) Clinical cancer epidemiology, focusing on lymphoma (in the research group of Karin Ekström Smedby and Sandra Eloranta)

(iii) Teaching at the Master’s Programme in Biostatistics and Data Science at Karolinska Institutet.
