  • Research Assistant Professor
  • Faculty in Biostatistics

My current primary research interests include statistical aspects of design, implementation and analysis of clinical trials; design and analysis of quality of life studies, and survival analysis. As one of the statisticians for the NRG Oncology I have been involved in design, analysis, and served as a primary statistician on clinical trials evaluating therapies for the prevention and treatment of breast and colorectal cancer.
