Dr. Dobbin’s tries to bring his work experience gained during his tenure at NIH to bear in order to help students see the big picture and understand that individual public health projects take place in a larger context, and that the ultimate goal is to move the science forward.
Despite great advances in biological understanding in recent years, the translation of these discoveries into effective biomarkers and treatments for patients has been disappointing. What often slows down or stops effective translation is poor experimental design and analysis. Dr. Dobbin’s research focuses on improving these methodologies so that discoveries can more quickly get to the patients who need them.
