I also have extensive experience in the development, operation, analysis, and methodological aspects of Clinical Trials. Before coming to Vanderbilt, I served as Deputy Director of the Biostatistics and Data Management Center for the American College of Radiology Imaging Network. ACRIN is a NCI funded cooperative group that specializes in clinical trials evaluating new medical imaging technology. I have been the lead statistician for numerous large-scale multicenter trials and regularly chair and serve on data safety monitoring boards. I regularly teach in the Radiological Society of North Americas exclusive Clinical Trial Methodology Workshop for junior faculty.
My current research program is focused on three areas: missing data and prediction, mediation analysis, and empirical Bayes methods for the evaluation of surrogate outcomes and for recovering information from published prediction models. Three PhD students work with me in the Statistical Evidence in Data Science (SEDS) lab. Recent work is as follows: we have discovered how to construct a prediction model that minimizes the average out-of-sample prediction error without imputing any missing data; we have developed a new framework for estimating mediation effects that posits just one regression model instead of three; we have extended the Prentice criteria for surrogate outcomes to partial surrogates; and we have discovered how to extract the statistical information behind a published black-box prediction model and use it to improve other prediction models.
