What I Offer

Expert study design, analysis, and manuscript support.

Group planning with sticky notes

Study Design & Biostatistics

Pre‑Study Consult & SAP

  • Clarify hypotheses/endpoints, choose models, define primary/secondary outcomes, and plan quality checks.
  • Deliverable: 2–4‑page Statistical Analysis Plan with assumptions and code stubs.
  • Credentials that matter: PhD scientist with Graduate Diploma in Biostatistics; active methods and respiratory physiology research.

Power & Sample‑size

  • Prospective calculations with transparent assumptions; sensitivity to realistic effect sizes.

Methods & Reporting Audit

  • Tighten the statistical language, align tables/figures, and ensure reproducibility.

Data Analysis & Reproducible Deliverables

  • Workflow: data intake → cleaning/specs → modeling (e.g., segmented/“piecewise” regression, GAMLSS alternatives where justified) → sensitivity analyses.
  • Deliverables: a concise technical report, publication‑ready figures, and fully commented R or SPSS scripts. (I work in RStudio/SPSS.)

Security & Privacy: De‑identified data preferred. If PHI is unavoidable, we execute a Business Associate Agreement and use HIPAA‑compliant transfer/storage.

  • Includes tracked‑changes Word file + brief “editor’s memo.”
  • Optional: journal‑specific formatting and reference checks.

Journal Strategy (5 Suggestions)

  • A curated shortlist with scope fit, audience, typical methods, turnaround considerations, and rationale—not just impact factors.

Response‑to‑Reviewers Package

  • Methods & analysis critique for coherence with aims.

Respiratory/pft Specialty Consulting (Your Niche Edge)

  • DLNO/DLCO & “double diffusion” method: study design, interpretation, and clinical manuscript support (heart failure, post‑COVID).
  • Blood gas & co‑oximetry QC; SOPs aligned with the CLSI C46 revision principles (I serve as vice chair of that revision).
  • PFT lab workflows & reporting (ATS/ERS‑consistent), training for clinicians/trainees.
  • Why me: decades of pulmonary diagnostics work, editorial roles, and ongoing research in blood gases and PFTs.
