About
Dr. Lindner joined the Department of Statistics in 2023 after completing her master’s and doctoral degree in Biostatistics from the University of Pennsylvania. She previously held a position at the NIH National Cancer Institute where she applied correlated age-period-cohort models to study health disparities in prostate cancer. At the University of Pennsylvania, she used survival analysis and regression methods to study the influence of dialysis treatment non-adherence to post-kidney transplant outcomes. Her dissertation work developed novel ROC-based statistical methods for the discovery and evaluation of nontraditional biomarkers with applications in omics data. Major projects at RERF have included the analysis of migration rates in LSS participants for adjusting estimated incidence rates of solid cancer, analyzing relationships between radiation exposure, chronic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease, and aiding in the analysis of the F1 clinical study of multifactorial diseases.
