Research Interest

The intersection of my research interest in molecular biology, genetics, public health, and policies allows me to evaluate cost-benefits/cost-effectiveness of innovative scientific high-throughput technologies and to project long-term impact on science, population health, and polices.  Currently, my research group at Boston University is working with the Early Intervention Program at the Massachusetts State Department of Public Health on a project on evaluating the impact of early detection of children with autism on health services delivery provided by Massachusetts.  We believe the outcomes will help estimate the costs of services necessary to be allocated to families with children with autism.  Another project involves working with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) program on designing a budget impact analysis of expanded HIV screening and testing in veterans.  Our future goal is to develop models of implementation and dissemination of screening program using innovative scientific discoveries in improving patient care and population health.
