        <p>I am a professor in the <a href="https://www.jhsph.edu/departments/biostatistics/">Department of Biostatistics</a> at the <a href="https://www.jhsph.edu/">Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health</a>. While I remain on the faculty for now,
          I recently took a position as Professor of Biostatistics in the <a href="https://medicine.utah.edu/population-health-sciences/">Department of Population Health Sciences</a> at
          the <a href="https://medicine.utah.edu/">University of Utah School of Medicine</a>.</p>
        <p>I received pre- and post- doctoral training from the <a href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/biostatistics/">Department of Biostatistics</a> at the <a href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/">Harvard School of Public Health</a> under the guidance of <a href="https://www.stat.ncsu.edu/people/tsiatis/">Butch Tsiatis</a> (pre) and <a href="https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/james-robins/">James Robins</a> (post).   I joined Johns Hopkins in 1997 as an assistant professor and was promoted to full professor in 2008.</p>
        <p>My research is focused on how to draw inferences about treatment effects in the presence of selection bias. Specifically, I am interested in how to report results in randomized trials with informative missing or censored data and in observational studies with non-random treatment assignment. Click on the research link on the left for more details.</p>
        <p>I served on the National Academy panel, which issued the report <a href="https://www.nap.edu/catalog/12955/the-prevention-and-treatment-of-missing-data-in-clinical-trials">The Prevention and Treatment of Missing Data in Clinical Trials</a>.</p>
        <p>I am senior statistician of the <a href="http://metrc.org/">METRC consortium</a>, which is funded by the Department of Defense to conduct multi-center clinical research relevant to the treatment and outcomes of orthopaedic trauma sustained in the military. I have also served as the lead statistician on a number of large evaluation studies including the National Study of the Costs and Outcomes of Trauma (NSCOT), <a href="http://www.guidedcare.org/">Guided Care for Chronically Ill Older Adults</a> and <a href="https://www.healthysteps.org/">Healthy Steps for Young Children</a>. Click on the collaborations link above for more detail.</p>
        <p>I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, although I have retained little of the classic accent.  I am married to Julie Alpher Scharfstein, who was a classmate of mine at Harvard. We have three children: Kayla, Ava, and Nadia.</p>
