Reid Landes

Reid Landes, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). He specializes in biostatistical methodologies with a focus on radiation effects, dose-response analysis, and public health research. His work spans clinical trials, animal studies, and epidemiological analyses.

• Education:
  • Ph.D. in Statistics, Iowa State University (2005)
  • MS in Biometry, University of Nebraska (1999)
  • BSE in Mathematics, Southern Arkansas University (1994)

Dr. Landes' research interests include power and sample size calculations, statistical methods for evaluating radiation exposure risks, neuroeconomics discounting models, and hierarchical modeling. He has contributed to studies on atomic bomb survivors' radiation effects, cardiovascular responses to ionizing radiation, and pediatric obesity mechanisms.

His recent publications emphasize interdisciplinary collaborations, such as analyzing lymphatic dysfunction in hypertension, evaluating campus writing programs, and bridging healthcare gaps for Parkinson's disease patients in rural areas. Methodologically, he addresses challenges like cage effects in animal studies and correction of statistical biases in regression analyses.

Dr. Landes' work bridges statistical rigor with practical health applications, addressing both clinical and public health challenges.
