Hi, I’m Donald
Since 2017, I’ve held the position of Biostatistician at IDEXX Laboratories within the Medical Data Insights team. My responsibilities predominantly revolve around three main domains:
- Clinical Studies
- Real World Evidence (RWE) Studies
- Validation Studies for machine learning algorithms
As part of my work, I collaborate with over 40 universities and research institutions across 20 different countries:
Previously, I worked at Harvard Innovation Labs as a biostatistician consultant and Harvard Medical School/Beth Isreal Deaconess Medical Center as a biostatistician focused on large cardiovascular clinical trials.
I received a Bachelor’s of Science in Human Biology with minors in Biochemistry and Physics from the University of Southern Maine. The focus of my undergraduate work was on the effects of heavy metals (arsenic) on the developing cytoskeleton of rat pheochromocytoma cells as a model for brain development.
In addition, I obtained both an undergraduate and graduate research fellowship from NASA focused on the effects of space radiation on developing glial cells and the mitigation of stunted neurite outgrowth through the use of antioxidants to mitigate damage from reactive oxygen species at the Biomedical Research and Operations branch of Johnson Space Center.
My graduate research focused on the implementation of a a clinical decision support system for traumatic brain injury (the Canadian Head CT scan rule) in a single large hospital and the evaluation of the performance of that implementation into an EHR.
