He has over 30 years of experience in consulting with investigators in the design and analysis of clinical trials, retrospective and observational studies, and large patient registries.

Thursday Tech Talks, sponsored by the Delaware Clinical & Translational Science ACCEL program and the Christiana Care Value Institute, are monthly seminars intended to present statistical, epidemiological and bioinformatics methods and how they can be applied to medical research studies. Presentations focus on the technical aspects of methods as well as their application to real world situations.
These free talks are held the first Thursday of each month at noon at Christiana Hospital but can be viewed from your home or office computer. Earn CMEs by participating in-person or online. Lunch is served and all are welcome to attend.
