Professional Background

Milind Phadnis is an Associate Professor in Department of Biostatistics & Data Science at the University of Kansas Medical Center. His methodological interests are in the field of Survival Analysis and Design of Clinical Trials. He has collaborated extensively with researchers from nephrology, stroke, neurology, oncology and many other areas. He is the co-director of the Biostatistics section of Investigator Initiated Trials supported by the Cancer Center at his university. He has also served as the site-PI for an American Heart Association grant and is a two-time winner of Biostatistics & Epidemiology Research Design award at his university. He teaches Masters and PhD level courses in Biostatistics to students in his department and also Service-level courses to students from other departments. He also won the Outstanding Graduate Teaching Award for the 2020-21 academic year.
