Curriculum Development

With assistance from departmental colleagues, I designed a new major in Statistical Data Science within our MS in Statistics. The program emphasizes hands-on training in the application of statistical methods and the use of computational and analytic software geared toward producing highly employable masters degree students (2015)
As Director of the NIGMS-supported T32 predoctoral training program "Biostatistics for Basic Biomedical Research" (2005-2011), I designed this new training program integrating biostatistics training with fundamental biomedical sciences training (both didactic and laboratory rotations). In addition to the new training structure, I introduced the new weekly journal club course "Quantitative and Computational Biology" as a program requirement (2005)
