Jodi Ann Lapidus is a professor of biostatistics and director of biostatics education at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).[1]
Education[edit]
Lapidus comes from a family of teachers.[2] She did her undergraduate studies at the State University of New York, graduating in 1986, and then earned a master's degree from Columbia University in 1988. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of New Mexico in 1998 with a dissertation on Multivariate Statistical Methods Using Continuous and Discrete Data.[3]
Contributions[edit]
At OHSU, she has been active in educating Native Americans about statistics,[2] and her research has also included statistical work on injury prevention and child care in Native American communities.[4]
In 2010, Lapidus took part in a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee on genetic engineering of salmon. Lapidus characterized the safety studies that had been done on the fish as "preliminary" and advocated re-prioritizing such studies to focus on proving equivalence to natural fish rather than on finding differences from them.[5]
Other aspects of her research involve proteomics and biomarkers.
Recognition[edit]
In 2015, Lapidus was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.[6]
