Research/Academic Interests

Dr. Iosif’s primary research interest lies in the analysis of data with complex structure, including repeated measures, longitudinal assessments with dropouts, and clustered data with informative cluster size. Her methodological focus is on a specific subtype of these data, in which entire clusters of observations are collected repeatedly for individuals (over time or over different conditions).

Her interdisciplinary work focuses on mental health and has a wide range of collaboration with investigators from the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, the MIND Institute, and the Departments of Neurology, Internal Medicine, and Center for Neuroscience.
