• Managed the biostatistics component of FLT3 Mutation Assay development.
• Explored and analyzed data to establish assay specifications.
• Conducted DOE and comparison studies to optimize the assay.* Made key contributions to PMA submission.
• Designed experimental studies, wrote and reviewed protocols, cleaned and organized data, accomplished data analyses and produced reports for analytical validation, reagent and specimen stability studies:
• Worked with my counterpart at Novartis to prepare SAP, carried out data analysis and developed reports for Clinical Bridging study – this study demonstrates agreement between results of the FLT3 Mutation Assay.
• Participated in writing responses to FDA PMA questions and deficiency letters.* Performed protocol and report reviews, provided statistical input and data analyses for different NGS projects and submissions.* Advised.

• Provided statistical expertise to design clinical development plans in GI and cancer research.
• Provided input to clinical study protocols and case report forms.
• Defined analysis endpoints, statistical methodology and sample size for clinical trials.* Defined and executed analyses, prepared statistical analysis plans, generated statistical analysis reports and interpreted.
• Projects included late stage observational clinical trials, Registries, sNDA, diagnostic sample collection, and diagnostic clinical utility studies.* Prepared and reviewed integrated statistical and clinical reports.

• Analyzed complicated clinical data to develop algorithms to enhance clinical utilities of diagnostic instruments.
• Improved screening accuracy of the existing screening algorithm for disease detection by introducing a new parameter which improved the discriminating power (sensitivity/specificity and ROC analyses).
• Engaged in the research and development of methods to combine structural and functional measurements to assess disease stage (factor, cluster, correlation and regression analyses)
• Engaged in the development of algorithm for detecting disease progression based on nerve fiber layer imaging. * Develop study design and data analysis plan. Complete sample size calculations and statistical analysis.
• Completed Gage R&R analyses for different medical device.
• Performed compatibility analysis of hardware platforms (variance components analysis, concordance correlation, Deming regression, Bland-Altman limits of agreement).

• Performed statistical analysis of Wayfinding Survey to determine what type of information consumers with visual impairments feel they need most, is hardest to get, and is most important to them when traveling.
• Verified and cleaned data, making variables ready for analysis.
• Performed annual data analysis on sports program for visually impaired children.

• Performed analysis to review if a short global Visual Analogue Scale rating for well-being in patients recently diagnosed with terminal cancer provided a good approximation for overall measures of quality of life using.
• Validated the Palliative Prognostic (PaP) Score in an inception and representative cohort of terminal cancer patients seen in earlier rather than later stages of their terminal phase. Calculated a prognostic score.

• Performed an analysis to detect any differences between PRN (Practice Research Network) and CPA (Canadian Psychiatric Association) among locations of practice across Canada and within a province separately.
