   Current appointment: HIV Vaccine Trials Network Lab and Statistical Center for HIV/AIDS Research & Prevention. Previous: Early Detection Research Network • Spearheaded statistical support of lab assay development and validation, providing statistical support to individual scientists involved in immune assay research, including study design and power calculation, methods development, data analysis, report writing, and co-authorships.• Pioneered automatic data analysis pipeline enabling the immune-correlates analysis of the RV144 Thai vaccine efficacy trial (published in NEJM). This included processing many data types, automated report generation of formatted latex documents. Presentation: “R code Development for RV144 – Descriptive plots and Latex”.• Optimized R package (pcvsuite) for evaluation of tests/biomarkers for disease screening, diagnosis and risk prediction, including first authorship on paper, which develops and validates a new method for ordinal ROC regression. • Launched multiple R packages, including: predictSurvival (estimation of multiple performance estimators for case-control, case-cohort and nested case-control trials with time-to-event data), and mgrp (simulations of predictive performance of large groups of markers). Adapted weighted dose response curve model to add censoring for Luminex assay.• Created data mining software suite for analysis of Women’s Health Initiative proteomics project.
