Dr. Peter Gilbert is a biostatistician engaged in the design and analysis of clinical trials of candidate vaccines for HIV and other infectious diseases. His team specializes in data analyses of these trials to understand how vaccine efficacy depends on immune responses to vaccination and on genetic features of infectious pathogens — a field of biostatistics he pioneered named “sieve analysis.” His teaching and research interests include general biostatistical methods in areas including survival analysis, causal inference and evaluation of surrogate endpoints. He enjoys working with biostatistics graduate students on innovative statistical methods for vaccine clinical trials.
