EPI-BIO Lecture Series EPI-BIO Lecture: Dr. Jaime Lynn Speiser

The University of Kentucky’s College of Public welcomes Dr. Jaime Lynn Speiser, Associate Professor of Biostatistics and Data Science at Wake Forest School of Medicine, in Winston Salem, NC.

"Advancing machine learning methodology for applications in gerontology”

Dr. Jaime Lynn Speiser is a (bio)statistician focused on prediction modeling with applications in medicine. Her works involves developing novel machine learning methodology for prediction modeling, providing guidance for best practices for developing prediction models, and collaborating with medical researchers to develop models that inform clinical decision making in the learning health system. She is currently funded by a Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health (K25) to develop a missing data imputation method for longitudinal data and develop and validate a prediction model for fall risk in older adults.
