      Statistical Modeling Research Assistant

      Working at Murray Causal Decision Lab in the Department of Epidemiology at BU's School of Public Health, run by Dr. Eleanor Murray, to help assess whether HPV screening strategies, such as earlier age at HPV self screening for children with perinatal HIV infection, would reduce cervical abnormalities and cancer incidence among perinatally HIV infected girls. - Adapting/modifying an individual-level simulation model of cervical cancer (via Python code) to incorporate self-screening HPV test usage, and determine costs and benefits of self-screening tests. - Working on finalizing a set of parameters and parameter ranges for calibrated model to explore the likely outcome space under varying HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening strategies.- Presented findings on poster at 2022 BU Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) Symposium Show less
