Working with Ellen Eisen, ScD at the University of California, Berkeley, we used an iconic occupational cohort database to explore the effect of the changing job climate for autoworkers and suicide, overdose, and alcoholic liver disease deaths.
My postdoctoral research at UCSF has focused on the development of a Bayesian-supported framework for decision-making in adaptive Phase II trials; work performed in collaboration with the UNITE4TB public-private consortium to advance Phase II clinical trial design and identify novel tuberculosis (TB) therapeutics. TB is the leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide. Though treatable and curable, current therapeutic regimens have been ineffective in controlling the spread of TB.
Working with Mark Powell, MD MPH at the Buck Institute, I help examine genotype and blood biomarkers and their associations with invasive breast cancer.
Vector-borne diseases are a growing threat to global health. I help develop statistical methods to rigorously evaluate the impact of novel preventive interventions.
