My research interests lie at the interface of health decision science and mathematical biology. I am interested in the analysis of cancer epidemiology data using mechanistic models of carcinogenesis to reverse-engineer the biological mechanisms of cancer progression and to identify approaches for more effective cancer control strategies. Currently, I am investigating how different assumptions on the timing of the cancer cells spread and how the metastasis process is modeled may lead to biased estimates of the benefit of mammography and adjuvant treatment among early stage breast cancer patients. For this purpose, I have developed a multiscale model that integrates biological data and the observed epidemiological data. This modeling framework can facilitate the inclusion of recent advances in the field of cancer biology coupled with epidemiological data thereby permitting a more evidence-based and comprehensive evaluation of cancer control strategies.
I received my Ph.D. in health services research, policy, and administration with a focus on health decision science from the
Joseph Lau (Professor Emeritus)

My research focuses on applying evidence-based methods to clinical/healthcare problems. I have long-standing interest in validating existing systematic review and meta-analysis methodologies and developing new ones to make the processes more efficient and the products more reliable. For the past 2 years, I have been developing a Systematic Review Data Repository (SRDR) that could be used by researchers worldwide. I am also working with others to disseminate the methodologies of evidence-based practice beyond the immediate medical settings to other relevant scientific disciplines.

Francesca Beaudoin, MD, MS
Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine
Dr. Beaudoin is a board certified practicing emergency physician, and a clinical researcher in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University.Her research interests involve the dynamic between acute and chronic pain, and the relationship between pain and substance misuse.She is focused on how management of acute pain may impact the transition to chronic pain and chronic opioid use.Francesca is completing her PhD in Epidemiology at Brown.
Yanick N. Brice, PhD, MPA
Investigator, Department of Health Services, Policy and Practice
Yanick N Brice holds a PhD in social policy, with a concentration in health policy and health services research. She is a recipient of an AHRQ K12 institutional training grant in comparative effectiveness research (CER) and patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR). Her most recent work focuses on the role of financial incentives in spurring adoption and use of electronic health records (EHRs) to influence clinical outcomes during care transitions-from hospital to community settings. She is interested in building the evidence of the effectiveness of health information technology (health IT) in contributing to improving quality and value and supporting patient-centric care.
Nishant R. Shah, MD, MPH, MSc
Assistant Professor of Health Services, Policy and Practice, Assistant Professor of Medicine
Dr. Shah's research focuses on improving the cost-effectiveness of clinical cardiovascular care by streamlining the use of cardiovascular imaging. He is also interested in using cardiovascular imaging to better understand the mechanisms of disease in patients at increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis. Dr. Shah serves on the Health Policy Committee of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology and is an actively practicing non-invasive cardiologist at the Providence VA Medical Center and the
Investigator, Department of Health Services, Policy and Practice
Stacey Springs received her PhD in Pharmacoeconomics and Health Policy and her research to date has focused on 1) identification and assessment of health outcomes as a measurement of health policy effectiveness; 2) impact of research regulation and federal funding on modulating health outcomes and; 3) evidence-based practice in neonatology. Dr. Springs was appointed an AHRQ K12 CER/PCOR Scholar in 2016 and her fellowship work focuses on the elucidation of patient-centered pain management strategies in newborn medicine.

Andrew Zullo, PharmD, ScM is an Inpatient Clinical Pharmacist at Rhode Island Hospital and an Investigator in the Department of Health Services, Policy, and Practice at the Brown University School of Public Health. His focus during the K12 program is on the use and comparative effectiveness of prescription drugs in the nursing home. In particular, he hopes to gain insight into the comparative benefits and harms of glucose-lowering treatments for diabetes in frail, older nursing home residents. He is especially interested in outcomes of central importance to older patients, including functioning and cognition.
