Core Members
Faculty
Madhu Mazumdar, PhD: Dr. Mazumdar is the Director of the Biostatistics Shared Resource Facility and is responsible for the recruitment, retention, training, assignment and prioritization of consulting requests to BSRF biostatisticians. She is well known nationally and internationally for establishing biostatistics units and has extensively published on this topic. She led the reform effort of the TCI-BSRF expeditiously by following ten strategies and shared the experiences and success metrics in a perspective piece published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Mazumdar is also a sought-after collaborator on projects spanning from laboratory research, clinical trials, and healthcare delivery research and has published >150 manuscripts in oncology of 280 total publications.
John Mandeli, PhD: Dr. Mandeli’s research interests focus on both statistical theory and applications. A major area of interest is the combinatorial construction of new experimental designs. He is also working on the statistical design and analysis of cancer clinical trials with emphasis on proper design and analysis of Phase I and Phase II clinical trials, the application of stopping rules, multistage designs, and classical experimental design theory to cancer clinical and laboratory study design.
Gary Winkel, PhD: Dr. Winkel is a Research Professor in the Department of Population Health Science and Policy. For the past fifteen years, he has worked with researchers in Cancer Prevention and Control on a variety of topics. Dr. Winkel is a specialist in research design and applied statistical analysis with emphases on longitudinal data analysis and structural equation modeling. In Cancer Prevention and Control, he is responsible for assisting investigators with issues of research design, statistical analysis, and power analysis. In addition, he is responsible for the management of study outcome assessments, assurance of data integrity, and assessment of key study endpoints.
Xiaoyu Song, Dr.Ph: Dr. Song’s research interests include the development of statistical theories and applications for multi-omics integrative analysis, quantile regression, high-dimensional data analysis, estimating equation, longitudinal data analysis and case-control studies. Her application fields include genomic and proteomic studies, cancer research, functional genomics, and adolescent health.
Non-Faculty
Erin Moshier, MS: As managing director of the Biostatistics Shared Resource Facility, Ms. Moshier worked extensively with Dr. Mazumdar to reform the Biostatistics Core for Tisch Cancer Institute (NCI). She provides mentorship and training to junior and senior team statisticians and coordinates and monitors their workload to ensure each member is meeting core productivity goals. She manages all financial contracts between core members and clinical groups while acting independently as lead statistician on four long term contracts with various cancer programs. Ms. Moshier co-chairs the Biostatistics Design Workshop, a committee charged with reviewing all interventional investigator-initiated cancer clinical trial protocols and improving their statistical design and analytical plans to meet NCI standards. She has co-authored more than 50 publications in oncology of 115 total publications.
Kezhen Fei, MS: Ms. Fei has over six years of experience in database management and analysis. She has extensive experience in SAS programming and collaborates with investigators in community based trials in breast and ovarian cancer. She is developing skills in analyzing high-dimensional databases from electronic health record system and discharge-based databases.
Administrative Support
Denise Williams: Ms. Williams is the administrative assistant to the Biostatistics Shared Resource Facility. In this position, Ms. Williams is the main organizer of conferences and meetings for our core. She also assists in organization and set up of budget spreadsheets for grant submissions as well as tracking and compiling our core’s productivity metrics including number of grant submissions, FTE on grant submissions, financial contracts, publications, and consulting requests.
