Personal Statement

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistical Sciences and a member of the Center for Cancer Genomics at WFUSM.  I have published ~10 papers in the past three years in mapping prostate cancer genes.  I also have extensive experience in statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, and longitudinal data analysis.

Research Interests

My research is focused on the design and analysis of genetic and aging studies.  I am interested in genetic risk prediction, gene-gene interaction analysis, and longitudinal data analysis.
