Research Abstract

My clinical research interests include clinical, epidemiological and policy research in cancer, HIV/AIDS, and mental illnesses. My biostatistical interests include Bayesian hierarchical modeling, longitudinal analysis, nonparametric models, and survival analysis. I have more than four years of experience working with clinical investors in cancer and infectious diseases. I served as co-investigator or subcontract PI for a number of projects funded by NIH as well as within Harvard Medical School. I also co-mentored a number of medical fellows in MGH and Brigham and Women's Hospital.
