Title: My Academic Career in Biostatistics

Abstract

For all intents and purposes, I will start with my own exposure to biostatistics at University of South Carolina in 1977-1979, followed by Ph.D. training in biostatistics at University of Washington in 1979-1982, and a research career in biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) from 1982 to 2010. Four critical periods at JHU had led to the ultimate change of my career pathway from being a biostatistician to an administrator. Here, the focus is on how my career in biostatistics has been enriched during those three durations, which are all rewarding yet in different ways.
