Brent A. Johnson is a Professor of Biostatistics, Ophthalmology, and Neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center. He holds joint appointments in the School of Medicine and Dentistry and leads the Biostatistics and Computational Biology Department. His research focuses on methodological advancements in semi-parametric methods, causal inference, and adaptive treatment strategies, with substantive applications in HIV/AIDS, environmental health, and clinical epidemiology. Johnson collaborates widely across disciplines, including cardiology, neurology, and global health, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. He directs the Biostatistics Core for the University of Rochester's Center for AIDS Research and serves as an on-call statistician for the Flaum Eye Institute.
Education: PhD in Statistics from North Carolina State University (2003), MS in Biostatistics from University of Minnesota (1997), BA in Mathematics from St. Olaf College (1995). Awards include the NSF VIGRE Fellowship and Best Student Paper Award from the American Statistical Association.
Research Interests: Dynamic treatment regimes, personalized medicine, missing data methods, biomarker development, and HIV prevention strategies. His lab develops statistical tools for observational studies and clinical trials, with recent work on machine learning approaches for censored outcomes and causal inference.
Grants and Funding: NIH grants for HIV/AIDS research, environmental health projects, and methodological development. Collaborations include the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG), the South African TDF study, and the El Paso Asthma Cohort.
Labs/Teams: Directs the Brent Johnson Lab, focusing on statistical methodology for biomedical applications. Key lab members include postdoctoral fellows like John Rice and alumni Li Li (Eli Lilly) and Xin Lu (Sanofi).
