I am an epidemiologist with a history of NIA funding who has incorporated epidemiologic and biostatistical expertise in several health areas, including orthopaedics, aging, and the microbiome. My interdisciplinary research involves exploring measures of socioeconomic status (SES), incorporating participant-reported variables and geocoded neighborhood-level characteristics, in association with health outcomes in diverse populations.
