Dr. Meredith Duncan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and a Kentucky native. 

Dr. Duncan’s PhD is in Epidemiology, but she has a strong analytic background and considers herself an applied biostatistician. She has worked in cardiovascular research since 2013. Her personal research focuses on cardiovascular health disparities among people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. 

Dr. Duncan is currently a UK CCTS (Clinical and Translational Science) KL2 scholar. In her career development award, Dr. Duncan seeks to incorporate social determinants of health and markers of structural racism into cardiovascular disease risk estimating equations to lay the foundation for removing race as a "risk factor" when estimating risk.  

Dr. Duncan teaches graduate-level courses aimed at equipping students with skills in scientific writing and survival analysis.
