Biostatistician: RCT Publication-Non-inferiority-GEE Modeling

Lead Biostatistician for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in the Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery (2026).

I designed the statistical framework and handled all complex modeling.

Non-inferiority Design: Defined margins from historical data; used one-sided Wilcoxon tests and 95% CIs.

Longitudinal Modeling: Implemented GEE (geepack in R) for repeated cytokine measures, accounting for within-subject correlation.

Peer Review: Methodology praised by reviewers as "appropriate and sound."

Status: Published (April 2026).
