I am a biostatistician who primarily focuses on cancer screening and early detection. Much of my work is in the area of breast cancer, where we develop methods for evaluating the population-based breast cancer screening program. I am also interested in the application of statistical methods to the medical field, where we evaluate novel cancer biomarkers using samples from the biobank.
