Research Focus

Dr. Naumova is a biostatistician interested in the development of analytical tools for time series and longitudinal data analysis applied to disease surveillance, exposure assessment, and studies of growth. Her particular research emphasis is the creation and application of statistical tools to evaluate the influence of an extreme and/or intermediate event on spatial and temporal patterns. Her research activities span a broad range of research programs in infectious disease, environmental epidemiology, molecular biology, immunogenetics, nutrition and growth.
