Alan Hutson, doctor en filosofía y máster

I am the Chair of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and Associate Director of the Biostatistics Shared Resource. I received my B.A. (1988) and M.A. (1990) in Statistics from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo. I then worked for Otsuka America Pharmaceuticals for two years as a biostatistician. I then received my M.A. (1993) and Ph.D. (1996) in Statistics from the University of Rochester. My Ph.D. advisor was Professor Govind Mudholkar, a world-renown researcher in Statistics and Biostatistics.
I was hired as a biostatistician at the University of Florida in 1996 as a Research Assistant Professor and worked my way to Associate Professor. I had several roles at the University of Florida including Interim Director of the Division of Biostatistics and Director of the General Clinical Research Informatics Core.
I moved to the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2002 as an Associate Professor and Chief of the Division of Biostatistics. I was the founding chair of the new Department of Biostatistics in 2003 and became a full professor in 2007.
My accomplishments as Chair included the implementation of several new undergraduate and graduate degree programs and a substantial growth in the size and quality of the department faculty and students. In 2005 I became Chair of Biostatistics (now Biostatistics and Bioinformatics) at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (Roswell Park), was appointed to Professor of Oncology and was the Director of the CCSG Biostatistics Shared Resource. I helped implement the new Bioinformatics Shared Resource at Roswell Park and the Biomedical Research Informatics Shared Resource. I am an Associate Editor of Communications in Statistics and is on the editorial board for Cancers. I am also a New York State NYSTAR Distinguished Professor and Fellow of the American Statistical Association.
I have membership on several data safety and monitoring boards and has served on several high-level scientific review panels. I have more than 300 peer reviewed publications and two monographs. My methodological work focuses on nonparametric methods for biostatistical applications as it pertains to statistical functionals. I have several years of experience in the design and analysis of clinical trials. Currently I am serving on SITC’s Data Sharing and Big Data Taskforce. I am also the contact MPI for the U24 Cancer Immunoprevention Network (CIP-Net): Data and Resource Coordinating Center, the Acquired Resistance to Therapy Network (ARTNet) Coordinating Center and Cancer Prevention-Interception Targeted Agent Discovery Program (CAP-IT) Data and Resource Coordination Center.
