“This is really an award to a huge number of people,” said Gilbert, who leads the Statistical Data Management Center (SDMC) of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), headquartered at Fred Hutch. “No one’s research can bear fruit in isolation; this is a testament to the gifts given to me, and to the people who worked with me and supported my career.”


UW Professor of Biostatistics Adam Szpiro is co-author of a study, recently published in JAMA Network Open, that examined the link between early childhood exposure to ozone and a child’s risk of developing asthma.


Professor of Biostatistics Adam Szpiro collaborated on a study that found that children exposed to higher levels of ozone in their first two years of life were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with asthma or wheezing at ages 4-6 — but researchers didn’t observe the increased risk of asthma at ages 8-9. The study was published in a recent JAMA Network Open.


As Fred Hutch looks back on its 50-year history, Emeritus faculty member Ross Prentice is recognized for his leadership of the Public Health Sciences Division.


Critical work by a team of UW researchers that includes Marco Carone, a professor of biostatistics in the School of Public Health.


Recently, a team of biostatisticians led by Fred Hutch Cancer Center’s Peter Gilbert, PhD, garnered $17 million in funding from BARDA to identify correlates of protection (molecular shorthands that stand in for vaccine efficacy) for COVID-19 vaccines being tested through Project NextGen. Gilbert is a professor of biostatistics at the University of Washington School of Publich Health


“Our work is part of a growing effort to assess the implications of including race and ethnicity in clinical risk prediction models,” said lead investigator Quinn White, a biostatistics doctoral student at the University of Washington, Seattle.
