Jeffrey M. Albert

Jeffrey M. Albert, PhD is a Professor in the Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. He holds membership in the Population and Cancer Prevention Program at Case Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Albert specializes in biostatistics with expertise in causal inference, longitudinal data analysis, and mediation analysis. His collaborative research spans dental health, cancer, cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, and neurology studies. He has led multiple NIH-funded grants advancing statistical methodologies for mediation analysis, including handling non-normal mediators and longitudinal data structures.

Teaching includes advanced courses such as Statistical Methods for Clinical Trials (EPBI 458) and Causal Inference (EPBI 483). He has mentored over 8 PhD students who now work at institutions like the Cleveland Clinic and FDA. His R package 'gmediation' implements novel causal pathway analysis methods, applied to studies on socioeconomic status impacts on dental caries in adolescents.

Dr. Albert serves as Associate Editor for Statistics in Medicine and has reviewed for numerous journals. His grant review experience includes NIH panels and international agencies. He has contributed to DSMB committees for global health studies involving filariasis treatments and pediatric dental interventions.

Research highlights include developing statistical techniques for sensitivity analyses in mixed-variable mediation and applying causal methods to real-world health disparities. His work bridges rigorous methodology with impactful public health applications.
