I am Chair of the Department of Biostatistics at the Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University. My research seeks to help understand the natural history of the human growth, body composition, and risk factors for cardiovascular and related diseases in the human life span and to indirectly improve the quality of life through health promotion and disease prevention. My statistical work relates to modeling of complex cross sectional and longitudinal data for body composition and cardiovascular risk factors to provide insight into the multifactorial matrix of variables associated with cardiovascular and related diseases. Most of my research funding comes from National Institutes of Health.
