Inicia estancia sabática Elizabeth Juarez Colunga

Dr. Juarez-Colunga is an assistant professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Informatics in the Colorado School of Public Health. She received her BS in Applied Mathematics at the Autonomous University of Queretaro, her MSc in Mathematical Statistics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and her doctoral degree in Statistics from Simon Fraser University in Canada. Elizabeth’s areas of expertise and interest include: (i) analysis of data with dependencies at different levels including longitudinal and clustered data, (ii) analysis of repeated events data such as asthma exacerbations, which evolve as extension of survival analysis methods and non-normal outcome methods, (iii) joint modeling of multiple outcomes, and (iv) analysis of observational data. The objective of Dr. Juarez-Colunga’s visit is to develop collaborations with research institutions in Mexico, particularly in the area of biostatistics. She will be interacting with the Nodo Multidisciplinario de Matemáticas Aplicadas. Her support is the product of an academic collaboration between the Institute of Mathematics (FORDECyT grant), the Laboratorio Internacional de Investigacion del Genoma Humano and the Instituto de Neurobiología at Juriquilla.

Su estancia es bajo la supervisión del Dr. Jorge X. Velasco Hernández para realizar proyectos de investigación en metodología de bioestadística y ciencia de datos con el Nodo Multidisciplinario de Matemáticas Aplicadas de la Unidad Juriquilla de la UNAM, impartir cursos en la licenciatura en ciencias genómicas, realizar labores de consultoría en bioestadística y establecer vínculos con especialistas del área de neurobiología y de ciencias genómicas.
