In his research, Dr. Grant designs randomized experiments that maintain balance between different treatments while remaining as unbiased as possible. The main application of this research is clinical trials. Prior to joining JMU in 2006, he worked at Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Duke Clinical Research Institute, and Mid-Atlantic Medical Services Inc., and he has been a regular collaborator with the Biometry Research Group at the National Cancer Institute for the past ten years. Bill greatly enjoys stepping out of his own department and working collaboratively with people from completely different areas and backgrounds.
