Enjoyed being in Milan for the European Cystic Fibrosis Conference! Presented our study on the long-term effectiveness of CF modulators using US CFF registry data, challenging without a contemporary control group post-rapid adoption.
Grateful to the ECFS for the Travel Grant Award.

Bayesian joint modeling for multiple clinical outcome variables is highly promising. I can’t wait to read this. #StatsSky #rct
Our new paper is out in Statistics in Medicine! We developed a joint model for multiple (un)bounded longitudinal markers, recurrent events, and competing risks, applied to US CF patient registry data. Joint work with @drizopoulos.bsky.social and @erandrinopoulou.bsky.social.

Looking forward to present at the Diabetes StatClin Meeting in the beautiful Santiago de Compostela!
I'll be talking about dynamic prediction using joint models for longitudinal and time-to-event data, connecting biostatistics and clinical practice to advance diabetes care.
