Research Interests

Dr. Magaret provides statistical support to clinical research on HSV1 and HSV2 and other herpesvirus infections: the natural history, immunology, risk factors for acquisition, treatments and vaccines. She also supports investigations regarding the clinical association between herpes and HIV.

Areas of statistical methods work include misclassification in time-to-event outcomes, laboratory assay validation, and methods for quantifying and examining risk factors for viral shedding.
