Cory Zigler
I am an associate professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Sciences (College of Natural Sciences) and in the Department of Women’s Health (Dell Medical School). My research focuses on development of Bayesian methods for causal inference in complex observational studies. Specific areas of statistical methods development include methods for causal inference with interference, intermediate variables (mediation analysis, principal stratification), confounding in high dimensions, model uncertainty/model averaging, treatment effect heterogeneity,…
Ashkan Ertefaie
My methodological research interest lies in causal inference, dynamic treatment regimes, sequential multiple assignment randomized trials, comparative effectiveness studies using electronic health records, instrumental variable analyses, high-dimensional data analysis, post selection inference, and survival analysis. Particularly, I am interested in methodologies that lead to constructing the optimal sequence of treatments in chronic diseases where patients are monitored and treated throughout their life. Thus far, I have been primarily motivated by…
Antonella Zanobetti
Ph.D.,1999, Department of Statistics, University of Florence, Italy The area of my research interest focuses on the health consequences of exposure to air pollutants and climate change, and environmental health disparities. My research interests are shaped by my background and training in both epidemiology and statistics, by developing and applying statistical methods for epidemiological investigations. My work has contributed substantially to our understanding of air pollution and climate change-mediated health…
Danielle Braun
Danielle Braun is a Principal Scientist in the Biostatistics Department at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and at the Department of Data Science at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Her areas of research include risk prediction, genetic epidemiology, measurement error, survival analysis, frailty models, clinical tool development, causal inference, and comparative effectiveness research. As a senior research scientist Danielle co-leads the BayesMendel lab with Dr. Parmigiani and works with Dr. Dominici.
Joel Schwartz
My research is divided in three main areas: First, I am interested in epidemiology looking at the health consequences of exposure to pollutants. To date this has had two focuses: health effects of lead and health effects of air pollutants. I have recently begun work looking at water contamination. In lead, I have examined cardiovascular effects of lead exposure in adults, cognitive effects in children, auditory effects in children, and…
