SKILLS
ABOUT JOSEPH NGUYEN
I am driven by the belief that data and rigorous science can transform lives. Director of Biostatistics and clinical research leader with 20 years of experience leading enterprise-scale analytics programs across academic medicine, health technology, and outcomes research. I have spent the past decade in senior and director-level roles setting analytics strategy, institutional standards, and data-governance frameworks while supporting large portfolios of randomized trials, observational studies, and multicenter registries.My academic journey spans a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Rockhurst University to a Master of Public Health with a concentration in epidemiology & biostatistics from Saint Louis University. Early in my career, I worked in communicable‑disease surveillance at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, where I developed a deep foundation in epidemiology and public health analytics and honed my analytical skills - skills that I now apply to studying health outcomes in musculoskeletal research.I am known for translating complex data into clear, decision-ready insights for diverse audiences, from scientists and clinicians to executive leadership and boards. My work sits at the intersection of rigorous methodology, operational execution, and strategic communication - helping organizations move from evidence generation to action.My passion is health‑outcomes research - specifically understanding how healthcare delivery systems, social determinants, and new and emerging technologies influence patient outcomes from patient recovery, performance, to quality of life. I aim to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to tackle complex questions, apply robust methodologies, and communicate insights that inform policy and improve patient care. I bring deep experience building and mentoring high-performing multidisciplinary teams, scaling analytics infrastructure, and partnering with clinical, operational, and executive stakeholders. I am open to senior leadership, industry, and advisory roles where strong analytics, thoughtful governance, and clear scientific storytelling are essential to organizational impact.KEY AREAS OF FOCUS Health Outcomes Research Biostatistical Modeling & Study Design Clinical Trials & Observational Studies Patient-Reported Outcomes Data Management & Integration (RWD, EMR, registries) Mentorship & Research Capacity BuildingYou can find a complete list of my publications on
