Bio
My research focuses on surveillance for, and predictors of, cancer recurrence, including molecular predictors of treatment effectiveness and late recurrence. I also have a research program in epidemiologic methods, focused on the use of bias analysis and Bayes methods to understand heterogeneity in epidemiologic research results.
I have co-authored two textbooks, titled Modern Epidemiology, 4th edition and Applying Quantitative Bias Analysis to Epidemiologic Data, 2nd edition. I am Editor-in-Chief of Epidemiology.
