Dr. Shah is a member of the research staff in the Department of Biostatistics at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation. He is currently providing statistical support on the P2C2 (Pediatric Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Complications) HIV study. This is a natural history study to characterize the pulmonary and cardiovascular disorders that occur in association with vertically transmitted (mother to child) infection.

Research Interests

His research interests focus primarily in two main areas: development of statistical methodology to handle longitudinal data on more than one response and the subsequent use of these methods in doing survival modelling.

Longitudinal data refers to the collection of repeated observations on the same individual at different times and/or during different experimental situations. A primary objective of such studies is analyzing patterns of change over time and factors which influence that change. Because measurements taken on the same subject are correlated, special techniques are required to take full advantage of the information in the data.
