Emily Roberts, PhD

Assistant Professor of Biostatistics

Developing statistical methods for clinical trials and causal inference, grounded in real-world collaboration.

Hi! I am an assistant professor of biostatistics at the University of Iowa. I enjoy developing statistical methodology that can be meaningfully applied in clinical and public health settings. I am also always interested in collaborating on clinical trials, causal inference, and beyond.

I completed my PhD in Biostatistics at the University of Michigan in 2022, where my dissertation focused on Causal Inference Methods and Intermediate Endpoints in Randomized Clinical Trials. Previously, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Coe College with a BA in mathematics and psychology.

Living with Type 1 diabetes since age four continues to shape how I approach research, teaching, and collaboration.
