Andrea Arfè, Statistics PhD Candidate, Bocconi University, Milan, Italy

aarfe@jimmy.harvard.edu
andrea.arfe@phd.unibocconi.it
Andrea Arfè's current research interests focus on statistical methods for clinical research, especially Bayesian non-parametric approaches for complex survival data, adaptive clinical trials, decision-theoretic approaches for clinical trials, and causal inference.

Tianqi Chen, Statistician

tchen@jimmy.harvard.edu
Tianqi Chen's interests include clinical trials and Bayesian adaptive designs, as well as natural language processing (NLP) to extract key information from scientific literature.

Geoffrey Fell, Statistician

gfell@jimmy.harvard.edu
Geoffrey Fell is principally focused on information extraction from biomedical texts, and on large-scale comprehensive meta-analyses of the cancer-drug pipeline. His research aims to improve the way clinical trials are designed by offering investigators a set of tools to quantify their decision-making.

Alyssa Vanderbeek, Data Coordinator

alyssa_vanderbeek@dfci.harvard.edu
Alyssa Vanderbeek is interested in Phase II clinical trial design, biostatistical methods, bioinformatics, health policy, and rare diseases. Her work aims to improve clinical trial designs, with the goal of enhancing the efficiency and outcomes of drug development for patients and researchers.

Steffen Ventz, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Statistics, University of Rhode Island

sventz@cs.uri.edu
Steffen Ventz's interests include the design of clinical trials, Bayesian decision theory, response-adaptive methods, meta-analyses and integrative analyses of multiple studies, prediction medicine, and Monte Carlo methods.
