Statement

Mr. Kieke is a biostatistician with more than twenty-five years of experience working on epidemiologic studies. He joined MCRI in 2001 after serving at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR) for nine years. Mr. Kieke has formulated and implemented analysis plans addressing a broad range of research questions in areas such as vaccine safety/effectiveness, infectious disease incidence, antibiotic resistance, population-based health surveillance, reproductive health, waterborne disease and agriculture. These endeavors have utilized both standard study designs and more novel designs such as community intervention trials and rolling cross-sectional surveys. Before pursuing graduate studies in Statistics Mr. Kieke was employed as a computer programmer for four years. He has used the SAS software extensively throughout his career.

Mr. Kieke received a BS in Business Administration (Management Science, Management Information Systems) from the University of Rhode Island, an MS in Statistics and Operations Research from New York University and completed the required coursework for a PhD in Biostatistics at Emory University.
