Key Interests:
Dr. Babineau obtained her Ph.D. in Statistics in June, 2005. Supervised by Dr. Jerald Lawless, Dr. Babineau's dissertation work involved the development of goodness of fit tests for parametric models for current status data as well as interval censored data. Current research interests include further research in goodness of fit tests for interval censored data as well as the development of statistical methodology for event history and longitudinal data when data is interval censored. In addition to pursuing her statistical research, Dr. Babineau is also collaborating with investigators who conduct research in kidney cancer, prostate cancer, and bone grafting. She is also a member of the General Clinical Research Center.
