Shirley Eberly, M.S. Research Associate

As a member of the research faculty, I am 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 disease. Other studies in which I have been involved include examinations of genetic factors affecting the recurrence of coronary events after myocardial infarction; possible interventions to reduce environmental lead exposures in young children; and the effect of pacifier use on breastfeeding duration and complications.

I obtained my Masters of Science degree in statistics from Stanford in 1961.
