Tom Greene, PhD, is professor in the Division of Clinical Epidemiology, Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He conducts research on statistical methods for randomized clinical trials, longitudinal data analysis, and on the validation and use of surrogate endpoints. He directs the statistical analyses for several multi-center clinical trials sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, including the African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension, the Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Study, and the trials of the Frequent Hemodialysis Network. Dr. Greene also directs the statistical analyses for the Collaborative Study Group, which is an international consortium of investigators who conduct industry sponsored clinical trials in patients with chronic kidney disease.  Dr. Greene received his Ph.D. in statistics from Cornell University in 1985, and was a faculty member in the Department of Statistics at the University of Kentucky from 1985 to 1989. He served as a statistician in the Department of Biostatistics at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation from 1991 until coming to the University of Utah in the fall of 2006.
