Amy H. Herring is Sara and Charles Ayres Distinguished Professor of Statistical Science at Duke University, with joint appointments in Global Health and Biostatistics. Her research develops Bayesian methods for complex data structures including environmental mixtures, longitudinal data, and correlated outcomes, with applications in maternal/child health.
Research focuses on:
- Health effects of environmental contaminant mixtures
- Statistical learning for high-dimensional data
- Reproductive and perinatal epidemiology
- Causal inference methods
Current NIH-funded projects examine air pollution impacts on pulmonary inflammation, flame retardant effects on thyroid function, and early-life chemical exposures. Recent methodological work addresses power analysis for mixture studies and bias adjustment in birth defects research.
Major honors:
- University of Cambridge Armitage Lecturer (2023)
- Janet L. Norwood Award (2019)
- Lagakos Distinguished Alumni Award (2018)
As Dean of Natural Sciences, oversees interdisciplinary research initiatives bridging statistics, environmental science, and public health.
