His research spans influenza vaccine effectiveness, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) burden analysis, and epidemiological methods. Key projects include CDC-sponsored HAIVEN trials, Sanofi-funded studies on recombinant influenza vaccines, and Merck-supported RSV cohort research.
Recent articles highlight collaborative work on influenza and RSV epidemiology, advanced statistical methods like capture-recapture, and clinical trials in ophthalmology. Trends include test-negative design applications, comparative effectiveness analysis, and population-based burden estimation.
Collaborations with Richard Zimmerman (Department of Family Medicine), Mary Patricia Nowalk, and Dr. Realini (West Virginia University) on NIH-funded glaucoma studies demonstrate interdisciplinary partnerships. Methodological innovations in causal mediation and latent profile analysis further his impact.
