His research involves Big Data, mHealth, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Standards [FHIR, OMOP, UMLS, etc.] as applied to clinical and behavioral health disparities research, with underserved communities. Using community-based participatory research he works to reduce chronic illness (HIV, diabetes, opioids) and health disparities among vulnerable populations (i.e., African-Americans, Latinos, youth, and LGBT). He also teaches and mentors graduate students.
Session Moderator: Tor Neilands, PhD, CAPS Professor of Medicine and Director of the CAPS Methods Core
ImageTorsten Neilands, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine at UCSF, trained as a social psychologist and spent eight years as a statistical consultant at an academic computing center before coming to CAPS in 2001. His methodological areas of interest are multivariate statistical models with a special interest in latent variable models for survey scale development and validation, and mixed effects models for clustered and longitudinal data, including dyadic data. He is the PI of an NIH-sponsored R25 research education grant to foster grant-writing and related research capacity-building for early-career faculty working in U.S. minority communities to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and STIs and to improve the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS. He also actively collaborates as a senior statistician and quantitative methods co-investigator on multiple HIV prevention and tobacco prevention research projects. Dr. Neilands is the Director of the CAPS Methods Core.
