I bridge the gap between high-level medical science and complex data analysis. What makes my approach unique?

Core Areas of Expertise: Biostatistics & Data Science (R, SAS, Python) I specialize in providing biostatistical power for high-stakes clinical trials and academic research. Statistical Analysis Plans (SAP): Defining data handling, sample size calculations, and power analysis. Advanced Analytics: Expertise in R, SAS, and Python for interim and final study analyses. Meta-Analysis: Systematic reviews and data synthesis for Scopus/PubMed publication.

Product R&D: From laboratory formulation (cosmetics and anti-aging) to commercial stability testing. Why Hire a Physician-Biostatistician? Most biostatisticians are pure mathematicians; most medical writers are purely clinical. I offer both. Whether you are a pharmaceutical sponsor needing an ICH-GCP compliant protocol or a researcher struggling with "Chapter 4" data analysis, I provide the scientific foundation you need to achieve excellence. Let’s discuss your project goals—from data interpretation to publication.
