Scott Zeger, professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the Bloomberg School of Public Health and a faculty member in the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare at the Whiting School of Engineering, was installed as a John C. Malone Professor in a ceremony held February 11.

Zeger holds joint appointments in JHSPH’s Department of Epidemiology and Department of International Health, as well as appointments in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Medicine. His research focus is on the development of statistical models that support scientific learning about human health. His most recent work is in Bayesian models for individualized health and uses population data to improve decisions related to an individual’s current state of health and their likely health trajectory, as well as for decisions related to the benefits and costs of competing interventions.

The John C. Malone Professorships were endowed through the generosity of John C. Malone MS ’64, PhD ’69 to support outstanding faculty members working in the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare.
