About

Dr. Lindner joined the Department of Statistics in 2023 after completing her master’s and doctoral degree in Biostatistics at 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 on post-kidney transplant outcomes. Her dissertation work developed ROC-based statistical methods for the discovery and evaluation of nontraditional biomarkers with applications in omics data. Major projects at RERF have included the computation of patterns of migration from Hiroshima and Nagasaki in LSS participants to adjust estimates of cancer incidence, the analysis of radiation effects on chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, subclinical cardiac dysfunction, neurocognitive decline, somatic mutations of haemopoietic stem cells, and more. She also has an interest in spatial statistics.
