Chris Skibinski is a Statistical Programmer in the Department of Biostatistics & Epidemiology at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. She works in combination with biostatisticians, database developers and clinicians on biomedical research projects in the Collaborative Biostatistics Center within the department. She is a SAS Certified Professional (V6) and serves as the Assistant Team Leader in the Data Management group.
She designed and programmed a freeware SAS graphics module which allows power analysis output from Ralph O'Brien's UnifyPow, to be graphically displayed. The program code autogenerates all graphic code using resultant data from the power analysis results (GraphPow.sas).
Current activities include database development and web deployment of forms for data entry.
