CUNY SPH is delighted to welcome Dr. Constantin Yiannoutsos to the faculty as professor of epidemiology and biostatistics.
Dr. Yiannoutsos joins us from the Indiana University Fairbanks School of Public Health. He graduated from the University of Connecticut with a doctorate degree in statistics. Prior to joining IU, he spent almost a decade at Harvard University running clinical trials dealing with neurological sequelae of HIV infection. More recently, his methodological research has focused on statistical issues in survival analysis and causal methods when these are complicated by biases resulting from missing values in the context of observational studies. He runs a large epidemiological cohort that follows over 500,000 persons living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania as part of a research collaboration following over 2,000,000 people worldwide. In this capacity, he has provided data and statistical expertise to aid governments, foundations, and international organizations in evidence-based health policy and decision-making with respect to the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Dr. Yiannoutsos has used his expertise with large international HIV/AIDS cohorts to address similar issues domestically, most recently in a study of people living with HIV/AIDS in the state of Indiana. During the COVID epidemic, he was instrumental in using statistical methods to aid in Indiana’s epidemic response. Dr. Yiannoutsos is a passionate teacher who has taught, trained, and mentored hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students on three continents and has developed statistics education and training curricula at all levels.
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Yiannoutsos!
