Three new outstanding faculty members will join the University of Washington School of Public Health in the Department of Biostatistics in the 2023-24 academic year.

After 58 years at the University of Washington, Dick Kronmal, co-director of the Collaborative Health Studies Coordinating Center, professor of biostatistics and statistics, and a founding member of the Department of Biostatistics, retired on June 1.

“Treating these (wildfire smoke events) as exceptional events, that implies they’re unusual. But they’re getting to be so common that from a protecting public health view that doesn’t make sense,” said DEOHS and Biostatistics Professor Lianne Sheppard.

Rebecca A. Hubbard, PhD, a professor of biostatistics at the University of Pennsylvania and alumna of the University of Washington Department of Biostatistics (PhD, ‘07) has been honored with the 2023 Gertrude M. Cox Award.

Congratulation to all 2023 University of Washington Department of Biostatistics graduates!
