Experience

Principal and Chief Clinical Data Coordinator                                                                                      2010 to Present    

Healthy Aging Research Foundation (HARF) – Reno, NV

  • Developed the capture and interpretation mechanism for the evaluation of quantitative data in the biomedical sciences related to geriatrics and healthy aging. This is integral to the advancement of knowledge in health policy, clinical medicine, public health, health economics and other disciplines.

o    Processes to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) programming is on-going and expected to be completed by November 2016 for practitioner/public access

  • Developed the model which isolates sources of variation between subgroups of individuals in post-clinical trials involving Geriatric and Genomic Medicine.

o    The importance of this model is that when coupled with similar research, various intrinsic properties of the individuals may be identified and collated. In human intervention trials, variation is introduced through the mechanism of treatment assignment, which may by randomization or other means. Currently, trials are not collated and assessed as inter-dependent works. HARF is attempting to merge the data and produce clinical treatment suggestions based on multiple studies and post-marketing data.

o    HARGC investigates the associations between exposures or risk factors and outcomes, and seeks to determine the degree to which such associations can be interpreted as unidirectional or causal.

  • At HARF, I evaluate a large number of peer-reviewed published research on aging, as well as clinical and quantitative research, both national and international as well as validate post-marketing data.

o    My evaluations and collations include clinical trials and epidemiologic investigations in physical functioning, nutrition and cognitive function, among others. My work therefore supports and is integral to HARF uniquely holistic approach to aging research.
