Area of Interest

I am a Professor of Epidemiology and the Director of Data Strategy and Education with the UNC Lineberger’s Cancer Information and Population Health Resource (CIPHR). I conduct pharmacoepidemiologic and health services research, with applications in cancer, aging, and the environment. The overall objective of my work is to generate robust evidence on the delivery and effectiveness of healthcare interventions that will improve decisions made by policymakers, providers, and patients and their families. My research program draws upon clinical trials, large healthcare databases, publicly available surveys, and environmental data, along with advanced epidemiologic methods to evaluate: (1) the delivery of high-quality care, (2) the effectiveness and safety of treatment, and (3) the role of environmental exposures on treatment access, adherence, and outcomes.
