Shirley Eberly, MS, Associate in the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, is primarily involved with study design, protocol development, and statistical analysis of clinical research data. This has included large scale clinical trials for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. Other studies in which she has participated extensively include examinations of genetic factors affecting the recurrence of coronary events after myocardial infarction; possible interventions to reduce environmental lead exposures in young children; causes of suicide in older adults, and the effect of pacifier use on breastfeeding duration and complications.
