Research Faculty

Adam Woods

Dr. Woods is Assistant Director of the Center for Cognitive Aging and Memory (CAM) and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology. He is also the Director of the Neurophysiology and Neuromodulation Research Core in the CAM. Dr. Woods’ research focuses on discovery and application of…

Krishna Vaddiparti

Dr. Vaddiparti is specifically interested in cross cultural research with hard to reach and vulnerable populations. His research interests include exposure to violence and abuse in childhood and adverse mental health, substance use outcomes in adulthood. In addition, his other research interests include domestic partner violence, gambling addiction and gun…

Volker Mai

Dr. Mai’s lab is interested in determining causal associations between microbiota composition and various health outcomes. While his lab is using animal models for proof of principle studies, and human feeding studies to determine effects of dietary interventions on microbiota composition, they are most interested in performing prospective cohort studies…

Catherine Striley

As a psychiatric epidemiologist, Catherine Woodstock Striley’s, PhD, MSW, MPE, research is concerned with increasing the recognition of psychopathology and addictive behavior to, in turn, increase service receipt, and with decreasing barriers to service. She has been a Co-Investigator on research involving community members, out-of-treatment drug users, and women in…

Linda Cottler

Her research has focused on drug and alcohol use and dependence in vulnerable populations like injection drug users, criminal offenders, women and African-Americans. She has developed internationally recognized assessment tools for drug, alcohol and nicotine use and gambling. Dr. Cottler is also known for her innovative approach to community-based research.

Sean Forbes

Dr. Forbes’ research utilizes magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy to monitor the progression of disease and potential treatments in muscular dystrophies. His research incorporates a translational approach, and includes investigating the effects of gene therapies, pharmaceutical interventions, and exercise on skeletal and cardiac muscle composition and function. Currently, a primary…

Ira Longini

Dr Longini’s research interests are in the area of stochastic processes applied to epidemiological problems. He has specialized in the mathematical and statistical theory of epidemics–a process that involves constructing and analyzing mathematical models of disease transmission, disease progression and the analysis of infectious disease data based on these models.

Yueh-Yun Chi

Dr. Chi’s primary methodological research is currently focused on developing powerful statistical methods for design and analysis data with many outcomes. Applications include, but not limited to, microarray experiments, mass spectrometry and NMR metabolomic profiling and medical imaging studies.

Meenakshi Devidas

Meenakshi Devidas is the PI of the grant for the branch of the Children’s Oncology Group Statistics and Data Center (COG SDC) located at the University of Florida. The COG is a NCI sponsored pediatric clinical trials cooperative group with over 200 member research institutions in the US, Canada, Australia,…

Babette Brumback

Dr. Brumback’s recent methodological research investigates methods for causal inference with complex survey data. She has been particularly interested in methods for adjusting for unmeasured cluster-level confounding with complex sampling designs. This has led to the development of new methods stemming from conditional likelihood techniques, generalized linear mixed models, and…
