Congratulations to PhD student Harrison Reeder who recently received a F31 – Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Individual National Research Service Award from The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Harrison’s F31 focuses on developing methods for risk prediction in the survival analysis setting of semi-competing risks, in which time until a non-terminal event and a subsequent terminal event are both of interest. His work focuses on statistical and machine-learning methods for this setting to predict individual patients’ prospective joint risk over time of experiencing one or both outcomes. This research is motivated by applications to risk stratification and individualized prediction of outcomes for preeclampsia in pregnant women.
