Research Description

Dr. Stram's research interests center on the development and application of modern statistical methods. He is especially interested in measurement error methods in cancer epidemiology, methods for the analysis of repeated measures data, and human genetics data. He has worked extensively on these issues in the A-bomb survivor cohort and other important data series. He is also involved in the conduct of clinical trials through the Childrens Cancer Group.
