Lanju Zhang is Director in Statistics and Research Fellow at the Department of Data and Statistical Sciences at AbbVie. He is leading a group providing statistical support to emerging immunology clinical programs. Prior to that, he was Head of Nonclinical Statistical Group at Abbvie and MedImmune. His research interests include adaptive design, multi-region clinical trials, real world evidence, and nonclinical statistics. He has published two books (both with Springer) and more than 30 papers. He is an associate editor of Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics. He received his PhD in Statistics in 2005 from University of Maryland Baltimore County.

Ding-Geng Chen is a Fellow of American Statistical Association and currently the Wallace H. Kuralt Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was a professor at the University of Rochester and the Karl E. Peace Endowed Eminent Scholar Chair in Biostatistics at Georgia Southern University. He is also a senior statistics consultant for biopharmaceuticals and government agencies with extensive expertise in Monte-Carlo simulations, clinical trial biostatistics and public health statistics. Professor Chen has more than 150 referred professional publications and co-authored and co-edited 18 books on clinical trial methodology, meta-analysis and public health applications and he has been invited nationally and internationally to give speeches on his research.
