Collaborations

My extensive collaborative journey, spanning premier institutions like Mayo Clinic, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and The Ohio State University (OSU), reflects a deep commitment to advancing clinical and translational research. With over 50 jointly funded projects, I have served as a Co-Investigator (co-I), co-principal Investigators (co-PIs), and PI, bringing to the table a wealth of expertise in biostatistics.

As a Co-Investigator, my contributions have aided PIs with meticulous study and clinical trial designs, robust grant development, precise sample size justifications, thorough statistical power analyses, and comprehensive data analysis and management plans. This pivotal role has enabled me to apply my statistical acumen in solving complex research problems, thereby driving the success of numerous multidisciplinary projects.
