Associate Professor, Epidemiology
My primary research focus is on the design, conduct, and analysis of multicenter clinical trials, with a particular emphasis on comparative effectiveness studies that involve head-to-head comparisons of competing treatments and prioritize patient-centered outcomes. Much of my experience is centered on clinical trials investigating treatments for eye diseases and asthma, and I have contributed to numerous studies that aim to evaluate the relative benefits and impacts of different therapeutic approaches.
Assistant Scientist, Epidemiology
My primary research focus is on the design, conduct, and analysis of clinical trials, with experience in testing interventions for both the treatment and prevention of various diseases. The majority of my work has centered on clinical trials related to psychiatric diseases and eye diseases, exploring innovative approaches to improve patient outcomes through rigorous investigation and evidence-based analysis.
