Dr. Prasoona K.に依頼

United States

Epidemiologist | Expert in Statistical Analysis & Data Management | Skilled in Systematic Reviews and Scientific Writing

プロフィール概要

I am a cancer epidemiologist with a PhD from the University of Utah and extensive experience in both industry and academia. My research has explored the links between metabolic health, age acceleration, and obesity in relation to cancer risk and mortality. I have secured NCI funding, including the prestigious Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Fellow Transition Award (F99/K00), and have presented my work at national and international conferences. With 9+ years in industry and academia, I've excelled in precise statistical analysis planning, handling large observational datasets, and conducting R-based modeling. I've also collaborated with multifunctional teams spanning regulatory affairs, quality control, marketing, sales, and legal domains. I hold advanced training and certifications from institutions like Columbia University, specializing in electronic medical records, single cell analysis, multi-omics, and epigenetics. My passion is to uncover innovative biomarkers, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and bridge the gap between scientific discoveries and clinical solutions.
