Dr. Suresh is a Research Assistant Professor in the division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics in the Department of Radiation Oncology. She also has a joint appointment as a Research Assistant Professor of Biostatistics. Her research interests include survival analysis, longitudinal data, joint modeling, and prediction models, with applications in cancer research and other health outcomes.

1. Developing prediction models for personalized medicine: I have developed methods that incorporate changing patient information, such as longitudinally collected biomarkers, to produce dynamic risk predictions during a patient’s follow-up.
2. Statistical analysis of outcomes in cancer research: My work in this area includes identifying important predictors of time-to-event and binary outcomes, propensity-score methods for analyzing observational data, and modelling longitudinal data.
3. Clinical trial design and analysis: I am the lead biostatistician on several randomized clinical study designs that study community- or clinic-based interventions for a variety of health outcomes.
