Hussein Rashid Al-Khalidi

Hussein Rashid Al-Khalidi is a Professor of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics at Duke University, with a primary affiliation in the Division of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) Methods Core. He serves as a Master of Biostatistics Instructor and is a member of the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI).

• Education: Ph.D. in Statistics from Texas A&M University (1988)

Research Interests: Dr. Al-Khalidi specializes in cardiovascular clinical trials and medical device evaluation, with methodological expertise in survival analysis, group-sequential methods, and continuous-time Markov modeling. His work spans time-to-recurrent events analysis, stochastic processes, linear models, adaptive trial designs, and dose-response modeling for clinical experiments. Current projects include statistical analysis for cardiac arrest interventions and urinary stone disease research.

Publication Trends: Recent articles demonstrate interdisciplinary applications of biostatistics in

• Urology (STENTS study pain modeling)
• Cardiology (SGLT-2i/GLP-1RA discontinuation analysis)
• Neurology (rTMS and dystonia research)
• Emergency Medicine (regional cardiovascular care trials)

His methodological contributions appear in predictive modeling, recurrent event analysis, and clinical trial design.

• Scientific Awards & Grants:
  • American Heart Association (Drone-delivered AEDs)
  • National Institutes of Health (RACE-CARS, STICHES, PROMISE-SAFER, Urinary Stone Network)
  • Medtronic Foundation (Heart Rescue)
  • Columbia University (PROMISE-SAFER)
  • Claret Medical, Inc. (Sentinel System Analysis)

Collaborations: Dr. Al-Khalidi collaborates extensively with urology, neurology, and cardiology departments across multiple institutions including University of Washington, Columbia University, and academic hospitals.
