Research and Professional Experience

My primary interest is in the design and analysis of clinical trials and observational studies. My work in Oncology trials has focused on early stage (Phase I and II) and vaccine trials. My experience in multicenter trials includes the treatment of AIDS-related eye disease and asthma.
