Speaker: Heather G. Allore, PhD

Professor, Yale University School of Medicine, Geriatrics Professor, Yale School of Medicine, Biostatistics

Adjunct Professor University of Bergen, Norway Adjunct Professor, University of Trondheim

 

 Dr. Allore’s research is focused on issues related to the design and analysis of trials and studies of multifactorial geriatric health conditions, especially among persons with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementia. Several projects focus upon health disparities of older adults.

She developed a sub-discipline of biostatistics that focuses on training and methodological development in geriatrics called “Gerontologic Biostatistics.” This discipline trains biostatisticians for conducting collaborative research with clinical investigators in geriatrics and gerontology

and provides the basis for the development of new statistical methodologies.
