Description of Research Expertise
Dr. Wileyto is an Assistant Professor of Biostatistics in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania's Health Systems, and the Biostatistician for the Penn Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center. His primary responsibilities include collaborative analysis of data, experimental design, grant writing, and development and testing of outcome measures for smoking cessation research. He has a secondary responsibility for education and training of staff in statistical methods, use of statistical software, and data management issues related to analysis. Dr. Wileyto is also engaged in ongoing collaborative statistical work with the Radiation Oncology Department, helping to analyze the spatial relationship of tumor hypoxia with blood supply from images.Dr. Wileyto's research interests lie in applications of mathematical statistics in biology and medicine. Before joining the TTURC, he worked in the Section of Epidemiology and Public Health for the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine at the New Bolton Center on population dynamics and epidemiology of Lyme disease. During this time, he conducted the largest case-control study ever done on Lyme disease. Dr. Wileyto also conducted innovative methodological work in the statistical estimation of population size from trap data at the USDA Stored Product Insects Laboratory.
Dr. Wileyto received his Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of Pennsylvania (Department of Biology), and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Mathematical Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University's School of Hygiene. He has a secondary appointment in the University of Pennsylvania Medical School's Department of Biostatistics, and is an Associate Scholar in the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
