• Immunophenotyping & Clinical Association: Design analytical strategies to model the landscape of the immune microenvironment (e.g., PD-L1 expression patterns, tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte densities) and statistically associate these spatial phenotypes with clinical outcomes.
• Study Design: Provide expert statistical guidance on study design, sample size estimation, and power calculations for translational protocols and grant proposals (NIH/NCI).
