| Ronald Gangnon completed a
BA degree in Mathematics and Economics at the University of
Minnesota-Duluth (1992) and a MS (Statisics, 1994) and PhD
(Statistics with emphasis in Biostatistics, 1998) from the
Univeristy of Wisconsin-Madison. He then joined the Department of
Biostatistics and Medical Informatics as a Research Scientist in
1998 and since 2005 has been an Assistant Professor in the
Department of Population Health Sciences and the Department of
Biostatistics and Medical Informatics.
Research Interests
Dr. Gangnon's research interests include the development and
application of statistical methods in epidemiologic and clinical
research. In particular, he is interested in statistical methods
for syndromic surveillance and spatial and spatio-temporal
modeling of disease risks. He is an active co-investigator on
projects in a wide array of disease fields, including geriatrics,
ophthalmology, disphagia, breast cancer and asthma. Of particular
note, Dr. Gangnon serves as Director of the Biostatistics Core for
the Chilidhood Origins of ASThma (COAST) program project grant, a
prospective birth cohort study of early childhood risk factors for
the development of asthma and allergy.
