معرفی
Dr. Lindsay Collin is an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. Her research focuses on cancer epidemiology, particularly addressing disparities in cancer outcomes across socioeconomic and racial groups. She specializes in methodological advancements such as Bayesian statistics, bias analysis, and validation study design.
Education:
- BSc, University of British Columbia
- MPH, Emory University
- PhD, Emory University
Research Interests: Dr. Collin's work examines multilevel predictors of cancer treatment efficacy, recurrence, and mortality. She investigates how social determinants (e.g., neighborhood deprivation, redlining) and molecular factors (e.g., tumor biology) intersect to influence health disparities. Her methodological contributions include improving bias quantification and validation study frameworks.
Recent Work Trends: Her recent studies emphasize racial disparities in breast and ovarian cancer outcomes, leveraging geospatial and genomic data. She also explores how systemic factors like historical redlining affect tumor biology and clinical outcomes. Methodologically, her team develops Bayesian approaches to handle measurement error and unmeasured confounding in observational studies.
Awards: No specific awards listed, though her work reflects sustained contributions to health equity and epidemiologic methods.
Advising & Grants: Advises on studies addressing cancer disparities and methodological rigor. Her grants likely support collaborative projects analyzing large-scale cancer registries and population health datasets.
Labs/Teams: Active in Emory's Cancer Research Group and collaborates with Danish cohorts (e.g., ProBe CaRE study). Engages with the Kaiser Permanente Research on Ovarian Cancer Survival (KP-ROCS) initiative.
