Kellie Archer awarded Fulbright U.S. Scholar award to Belgium
She will research 'implementation and application of novel mixture cure modeling methodologies'
Kellie Archer, professor and chair of the Division of Biostatistics, College of Public Health, has been awarded a 2026-2027 Fulbright U.S. Scholar award to Belgium to research “Implementation and application of novel mixture cure modeling methodologies.”
From September – December 2026, Archer will work alongside Ingrid Van Keilegom, an internationally-recognized expert in cure modeling methods at KU Leuven in Belgium, on mixture cure modeling methods and applications. Archer will also be collaborating with faculty in the Leuven Biostatistics and Statistical Bioinformatics Centre.
“As a biostatistician, my research has focused on developing statistical methods for modeling outcomes when there are more predictors than number of observations. Therefore, my methods must be implemented in a statistical programming language such as R,” Archer explained.
