Professional Summary
Doug Schaubel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics. Doug joined the department in September 2002, after completing his Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While at UNC, Doug received travel awards from the International Biometric Society (ENAR) and the American Statistical Association. He was also awarded prizes for best dissertation in the Department of Biostatistics and, subsequently, in the School of Public Health. Prior to attending UNC, Doug analyzed the national renal failure registry data for Health Canada, where his contributions included therapy-specific prevalence projections and the comparison outcomes by dialytic modality.
Education
Ph.D., Biostatistics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2002
M.Sc., Biostatistics, McGill University, 1996
B.Math., Actuarial Science/Statistics, University of Waterloo, 1992
Research Interest & Projects
With respect to statistical methodology, my areas of interest include survival analysis, recurrent event data and epidemiolgic methods. I collaborate with members of the Kidney Epidemiology and Cost Center (KECC) and the University Renal Research and Education Association (URREA).My work at KECC and URREA is mostly directed towards organ failure and transplantation, which feature complex data structures and censoring patterns not amenable to traditional survival analysis methods. Currently, I am conducting analyses geared towards rank ordering liver transplant candidates with respect to expected transplant survival benefit. I have also begun to quantify the benefit of kidney transplantation with respect to hospitalization rates.
