I presented a lightning talk entitled “Geographic Variation in the Oral Microbiome of NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study Participants” at a National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences workshop entitled Impact of Environmental Exposures on the Microbiome and Human Health held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
I co-authored an article in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health entitled “Spatial Heterogeneity in Positional Errors: A Comparison of Two Residential Geocoding Efforts in the Agricultural Health Study”, which is included in the Special Issue Spatial Data Uncertainty in Public Health Research.
Dr. Derek Brown and I received a Trans-Fellowship Research Award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Division of Cancer Prevention Cancer Prevention Fellowship Program (CPFP) to supplement our 2020 DCEG Informatics Tool Challenge Award.
Dr. Derek Brown and I presented our “Spatial Power” webtool for the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics January 2021 monthly Geographic Analysis Working Group meeting. Spatial Power is an upcomping webtool to calculate power for spatial statistics.
My third R package is published in the Comprehensive R Archive Network named envi. It estimates the ecological niche using presence/absence data and the spatial relative risk function via the sparr package.
I presented my abstract entitled “Geographic variation in the oral microbiome of Agricultural Health Study applicators” at the Society for Epidemiologic Reserach 2020 annual meeting held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
My second R package is published in the Comprehensive R Archive Network named gateR. It estimates clustering of cytometry cells using markers and the spatial relative risk function via the sparr package.
I received a DCEG Fellows Award for Research Excellence from the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics for an abstract entitled “Geographic variation in the oral microbiome of NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study participants.
I presented my abstract entitled “Geographic variation in the oral microbiome of NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study Participants” at the 32nd Annual Conference of the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology held virtually due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
My first R package is in the Comprehensive R Archive Network named sparrpowR. It provides a statistical power calculation for the spatial relative risk function via the sparr package. See the public Github repository for more details.
