Daphne Lew

Daphne Lew is an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics and Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis. She holds affiliations with the Institute for Informatics, Data Science and Biostatistics (I2DB), Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences (ICTS), Center for Applied Health Informatics (CAHI), and Center for Biostatistics and Data Science (CBDS). Her research focuses on health informatics, global health epidemiology, and clinical biostatistics. She has contributed to studies on electronic health record (EHR) integration, infectious disease interventions (e.g., lymphatic filariasis treatment), and chronic disease management in HIV clinics.

Her work spans multiple domains including: 1) optimizing clinical workflows through secure messaging analysis, 2) evaluating mass drug administration strategies for parasitic diseases, 3) assessing social risk factors in rheumatology patients, and 4) improving hypertension management in HIV populations. She has collaborated internationally on studies in Papua New Guinea, Cameroon, and Côte d'Ivoire.

Recent publications highlight her expertise in analyzing EHR-derived clinical workflows and their impact on clinician workload, as well as advancing global health initiatives through randomized controlled trials of antiparasitic treatments. Her multidisciplinary approach bridges biostatistical methods with real-world clinical and public health challenges.
