CTSI Profile

Overview

I am an Assistant Professor of Clinical Population and Public Health Sciences in the Division of Biostatistics of the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences at the University of California. Before joining USC, I completed undergraduate degrees in mathematics and economics and a PhD in Population Health Sciences with an emphasis in Biostatistics at the University of Utah. I support the design, conduct, and analysis of pediatric cancer clinical trials of the Children’s Oncology Group, where I focus on cancer control, late effects, and cellular therapy trials. I also work on statistical methods for the evaluation of surrogate endpoints and collaborate with the Chronic Kidney DIsease Epidemiology Collaboration for my work in this area.
