Epidemiologist | Biostatistician | Statistician | Data analyst

Profile Summary

I am Dr. Michael Asamoah-Boaheng, a highly skilled epidemiologist and biostatistician with over a decade of experience in Epidemiology & public health research, statistical analysis, and teaching. With a Ph.D. in Clinical Epidemiology and an M.Phil. in Statistics, my expertise bridges advanced data analysis, public health, and research methods. I specialize in managing and analyzing large-scale population and clinical datasets, applying advanced epidemiological methods, performing systematic reviews & meta-analysis, and conducting epidemiological studies that address complex public health challenges.

My professional journey includes leading observational and clinical studies, writing and publishing high-impact research, and mentoring graduate and medical students.

Key skills include advanced proficiency in R, SPSS, and  STATA, for statistical analysis; expertise in systematic reviews and meta-analysis; and a strong track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals. I also have extensive teaching experience, including developing and delivering graduate-level courses on advanced epidemiological methods.

Driven by a passion for translating complex data into actionable insights, I offer consulting services to individuals, organizations, and research teams. My goal is to help clients design robust studies, analyze complex datasets, and derive meaningful conclusions to inform evidence-based decision-making.
