Nandita Mitra, PhD

Nandita Mitra, PhD
Professor of Biostatistics, is the 2025 recipient of the Samuel Martin Health Evaluation Sciences Research Award. Established in 1996 to honor the late Dr. Samuel P. Martin, III, Executive Director of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics and Chair of the Health Care Systems Unit of the Wharton School, the Martin Award is granted to a member of the School of Medicine faculty for a body of work with an emphasis on health services research. Dr. Nandita Mitra is an internationally recognized leader whose trailblazing work in causal inference has transformed health services research and advanced equity-driven policy evaluation. Her innovative methods have been applied to pressing issues ranging from beverage taxes and SNAP policies to exposing systemic racial bias in capital punishment trials - work that directly led to the vacating of a death sentence and is shaping legal reform nationwide. Through this scholarship, she bridges rigorous statistical innovation with urgent demands for justice and public health impact. Learn more about Dr. Mitra
