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…

Nima Hejazi, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at the T.H. Chan School of Public Health of Harvard University. He completed an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, and, before this, obtained his PhD in Biostatistics from UC Berkeley. He was on the founding core development team of the tlverse project (https://github.com/tlverse), an extensible ecosystem for targeted learning in the R language, and, since 2020, has collaborated closely with…
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 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.
My major research interests are occupational, environmental and molecular epidemiology. I have been interested in studying the impact of exposures to various pollutants on health and the interactions between host factors (genetic and acquired susceptibility), and environmental exposures in producing acute and chronic diseases. This research is part of a field known as molecular epidemiology. I have been active in developing new methods for assessing health effects after exposure to…
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…
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The aim of my research is to develop statistical methods that enable maximally rigorous and impactful uses of data to answer environmental health questions. In particular, my recent work centers on (1) methods for estimation of the health impacts of complex environmental regulations and quasi-experiments and (2) methods for studying the…
