Research Interests
|
- My major research interest is the study of disease occurrence in human populations. We are
- examining issues in summarizing statistical results from diverse groups from around the
- world. This research combines elements of meta-analysis, and data warehousing and
- mining.
- I am the principal investigator of the Diverse Populations Collaboration. The Diverse
- Populations Collaboration examines the analytical findings of epidemiological studies of
- populations from many countries and cultures to attempt to explain variation represented in
- these results. The DPC studies cover wide geographically and ethnically diverse
- populations with information on over 395,000 individuals, almost 180,000 females, over
- 34,000 Blacks, and 13,000 are of Hispanic origin.
