Bio

Dr. Chi Mai Nguyen joined the Department of Biostatistics and Health Data Science, and Biostatistics & Data Management Core - Indiana University Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, IUSM, in August 2022 as an Assistant Research Professor after serving as a Research Scientist in 2021. Before joining the Department, she worked in the School of Nursing-Bloomington for two years as a Biostatistician.
Her studies use real-world data across domains, from health electronic records, insurance claims, inpatient retrospective chart reviews, whole genome sequencing to self-reported records, to help medical researchers and policy makers in improving evidence-based clinical practices and policy efficacy. Her approach prioritizes delineating structural mechanisms and hypothetical pathways leading to health outcomes. After that, biases resulted from self-selection along each pathway are corrected to disentangle a certain confoundedness.
