• Collect clinical data and perform quality control measures for input into laboratory databases. Perform Risk Analysis of chronic and infectious diseases and food safety to assess the dynamics and the effect of control strategies.飩�
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS); prepare, analyze, and map demographic and disease incidence and mortality rates data e.g. 2009 H1N1 pandemic, Cancer, HIV/AIDS, Diabetes Mellitus, Cardiovascular Diseases, Infant Mortality Rates, Populations, Unemployment Rates, and Per capita Income for Black Belt Counties (BBCs) of Alabama to be used by various Researchers within RCMI.
• 聽Performed statistical analysis for epidemiologic survey investigations and provided assistance on database development for risk assessment projects.
