Research Interests
Statistical methods for evaluating novel medical technologies, microsimulation models of health interventions, infectious diseases, neuroscience, statistical editing
Overview
Dr. Noubary’s research interests include statistical methods for the design and analysis of studies evaluating novel diagnostics and other clinical decision tools, longitudinal data analysis, and epidemiology, particularly in the context of neuroscience, infectious diseases, and lifestyle intervention research.
At Northeastern, Dr. Noubary is the primary instructor of the health research methods curriculum for both undergraduates in health sciences and public health and doctoral students in population health. Prior to joining Northeastern, Dr. Noubary worked as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Tufts University, Senior Statistician at Tufts Medical Center, and as a Biostatistician in the Medical Practice Evaluation Center at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
