Robert Ploutz-Snyder

Research Professor, Director Applied Biostatistics Laboratory & Data Management Core, School of Nursing

My work falls into three general application areas. I am an applied (accredited) biostatistician with a strong team science motivation and I collaborate with scientists in primarily the biomedical sciences, contributing expertise in experimental design, statistical analysis/modeling, and data visualization. I have held faculty appointments in Schools of Medicine and Nursing, and also worked as a senior scientist in the Human Research Program at the NASA Johnson Space Center. I currently direct an Applied Biostatistics Laboratory and Data Management Core within the UM School of Nursing, and maintain several collaborative research programs within the School, at NASA, and with collaborators elsewhere.

I'd put collaboration against first authorship any day because when we collaborate, we bring better science. 'Robert Ploutz-Snyder
