Brief description of current research:

 I am currently building collaborations at the University of Iowa, and I am involved in the Clinical Trials Statistical and Data Management Center.  I am particularly interested in methods for validating surrogate endpoints in clinical trials. My general research interests include clinical trials, surrogate endpoint validation, causal inference, survival analysis, longitudinal measures, Bayesian methods, futility analysis, biomarkers, and diabetes and cancer collaborative research areas.

3 most influential diabetes/obesity/metabolism publications:

• Publications: Roberts, E.K., Elliott, M.R., & Taylor, J.M.G. (2022). Solutions for Surrogacy Validation with Longitudinal Outcomes for a Gene Therapy. Biometrics.
• Roberts, E., Elliott, M.R., & Taylor, J.M.G. (2021). Incorporating Baseline Covariates to Validate Surrogate Endpoints with a Constant Biomarker under Control Arm. Statistics in Medicine.

Quote:

 I completed my PhD at the University of Michigan in biostatistics in 2022. I am interested in continuing my research and becoming more involved in type one diabetes research in particular. Based on my own experiences, I am passionate about collaborations and how research can improve the lives of many individuals.
