Overview
I have been working with the Chronic Kidney Disease Prognosis Consortium (CKD-PC) of over 60 cohorts including over 8 million participants which investigates on the prevalence and consequences of chronic kidney disease using a highly collaborative model and has produced very highly influential publications in the field. For each project, I developed analysis plan with the writing committee, designed and conducted data analysis and summarized results and methods. In addition, I am also interested in confirmation and application of newly published statistical methods, particularly in the context of meta-analysis, risk prediction and measurement error.
