Elizabeth Colantuoni’s love for math and teaching led her to statistics, which she discovered while exploring colleges that offered degrees in actuarial science. She became captivated by experimental design and regression analysis while studying at Virginia Tech. Over the past 25 years, she has built a career in biostatistics at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. Colantuoni has contributed to research in critical care medicine and patient safety, specializing in longitudinal and multilevel data.
