The American Statistical Association named Kiros Berhane, PhD, professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, among its 62 fellows in 2017, recognizing his biostatistics research, teaching and service to the scientific community at USC and in Africa.<\/p>\n

An honor bestowed upon few<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the 100-year-old ASA fellowship program, members elect just a third of one percent of their peers for the honor each year.<\/p>\n

Berhane, who also directs the Keck School\u00a0epidemiology and biostatistics graduate degree programs<\/a>, returns this fall after a 10-month sabbatical as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar in Ethiopia, where he taught and conducted research at Addis Ababa University, followed by two months at Imperial College in London.<\/p>\n

In addition to helping develop the new statistics doctorate degree at AAU, he taught and designed courses and identified new research directions.<\/p>\n

The ASA distinction lauds Berhane\u2019s contributions to the development of new modeling techniques that help understand air pollution exposure impact on respiratory growth and health in children.<\/p>\n

Groundbreaking research in Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n

He continues this research in Eastern Africa as a principal investigator for the\u00a0Eastern Africa Global Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Hub\u00a0(GEOHealth) alongside Jonathan Samet, Distinguished Professor and Flora L. Thornton Chair of the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences.<\/p>\n

During his Fulbright tenure, Berhane focused on furthering hub\u2019s work, which will tackle new statistical methodologic issues and data unique to sub-Saharan Africa. One of seven such hubs in the world funded by a five-year National Institutes of Health-Fogarty grant, it is pioneering air pollution, climate change and occupational exposures research in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda.<\/p>\n

The work is a natural continuation of Berhane\u2019s research and teaching around environmental health and growing interest in global health, he said. \u201cI have always been passionate about seeking quantitative, mathematical solutions to pressing, real-life public health problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

A new frontier<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2016, Forbes\u00a0named biostatistics\u00a0the top master\u2019s degree for jobs based on its job growth projections, satisfaction ratings and mid-career pay data.<\/p>\n

The ranking is not surprising in a world increasingly dependent on data-driven decision-making and a data-driven economy, according to Berhane. Technological advances have led to enormous volumes of information that need careful processing. For example, it is now possible to collect detailed data on where people spend their time, what they eat, what levels of air pollution they experience and more\u2014all through mobile phone technology known in public health world as mHealth.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo make sense of this highly desirable detailed information, one needs data analytic skills that can handle such \u2018big data\u2019 scenarios\u2014and biostatistics is a perfect discipline for that,\u201d Berhane said. Biostatisticians guide and inform proper use of this information deluge\u2014\u201cto separate the \u2018signal\u2019 from the \u2018noise.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunities in biostatistics have never been more exciting and diverse than the present time,\u201d he said, \u201cand these opportunities will only grow in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
