Faculty Bio - Richard D. Day, PhD
Associate Professor, BiostatisticsAssistant Professor, Infectious Diseases & Microbiology Assistant Professor, Epidemiology Education PhD, University of California, Berkeley, 1973 MS, University of Pittsburgh, 1988 Research Interests The primary focus of research has been in the areas of molecular epidemiological and behavioral science applications of statistical methods. Applications in the area of molecular epidemiology have included cross-national studies of children exposed to radiation from the Chernoybl nuclear accident and Russian workers exposed to nuclear radiation in plutonium processing plants, as well as US based studies which focus on the effects in newborn infants of potentially mutagenic exposures (e.g., tobacco exposures, alcohol, anti-HIV drugs) occurring to the mother during pregnancy. Behavioral science applications have focused primarily on the area of psychiatric epidemiology and the development of methods for quality of life research, particularly in the area of clinical trials with breast cancer patients.
