Work History
Clinical Research Scientist
Family and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, The University of North Texas Health Science Center
2024.01 - Current
- Worked on two IRB-approved and privately funded studies, driving successful results for publication.
- Analyzed 40 patients' waveform data using IsoTOUCH visualizing software on infant sucking to quantify changes in anterior and posterior tongue pressures before and after Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment.
- Interacted with physicians to integrate force plate technology at the Center for Older Adults to expand data collection for the Human Movement Performance Data Registry, aiming to predict fall risks in geriatric patients using AI algorithms.
- Gathered sway data twice weekly from geriatric patients utilizing force plate technology, increasing database numbers in the Human Movement Performance registry while assessing fall risk,
- Ensured robustness of scientific conclusions by performing rigorous statistical analyses on collected data sets.
- Collaborated with physicians and other healthcare professionals to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostic techniques.
- Followed clinical research protocols and conducted study visits in compliance with ICH/GCP and FDA regulations.
