PROJECT 1RISK ASSESSMENT

F. Dominici

Francesca Dominici, PhD
Professor, Biostatistics
Director

Dr. Dominici focuses on the development and application of statistical methods for research in environmental epidemiology. As Project Director, she is responsible for coordinating all the research activities of Project 1.

S. Zeger

Scott L. Zeger, PhD
Professor & Chair, Biostatistics
Co-Investigator

Dr. Zeger's research focus is on developing regression analysis for correlated responses, for example in longitudinal research or in sample surveys, or when a single time series is observed. On this project he provides statistical assistance to all the members of the Center, and with Dr. Dominici, mentors the research assistants and postdocs in development of statistical methods and estimation of air pollution health risks.
J. Samet

Jonathan Samet, MD, MS
Professor & Chair, Epidemiology
Co-Investigator

Dr. Samet provides epidemiological and clinical expertise for estimating the effects of particle components in susceptible populations, and for defining the susceptible populations.
R. Peng

Roger Peng, PhD
Assistant Professor, Biostatistics
Co-Investigator

Dr. Peng's focus is on the development of statistical methods and statistical analyses for Project 1, the development of computationally efficient algorithms for analyses of national databases that vary in time and space, and development of software packages for the dissemination of methods and results for the entire Center.
