Description of Research Expertise

Mr. Maislin has served as director of the biostatistics core for the Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology since 1990. He has collaborated with Dr. Pack and other center investigators for many years and has been involved in applying statistical methods to address sleep research questions since 1988. His current areas of interest in statistics include methods for randomized clinical trials, Bayesian biostatistics, propensity methods for non-randomized comparisons, and non-linear mixed models for longitudinal data. He is currently active in sleep research involving efficacy of CPAP treatment for apnea, population screening for apnea, excessive daytime sleepiness and insomnia in the elderly, differential vulnerability to partial and total sleep deprivation, and in the heritability of differential vulnerability to sleep deprivation and other sleep-related phenotypes.
