Eva Lorenz, Dipl.-Inform. med., PhD:
Eva Lorenz has a background in Medical Informatics and holds a PhD in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from the University of Heidelberg. Focus areas of her research are clustered designs, diagnostic test accuracy in absence of a perfect reference with prior experience in the development of statistical methods for model building focussing on exposure variables with excess zeros. She is author and maintainer of the Stata command ccrand, a covariate-constrained randomization routine for achieving baseline balance in cluster-randomized trials.
Data Management
Berchie Agyemang, Computer Science (BSc):
Berchie Agyemang is a computer science graduate. He mainly supports the project of the One Health Bacteriology Group in data managment tasks and implementing the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) at project sites located in Ghana.
Angelika Hensel, Dipl. Med. Inf.:
Angelika Hensel holds a degree in Medical Informatics from the University of Heidelberg. She works on the data management tasks of several studies, with a focus on programming for data cleaning and data processing.
Anna Jaeger, Med. Dok. (BSc):
Anna Jaeger studied Medical Information Management at the Hochschule Hannover - University of Applied Sciences and Arts. She is involved in study implementation, data capture and data processing of various research projects as well as maintaining the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) system used within the group.
Wibke Loag, Dipl. Dok. (Biowissenschaften):
Wibke Loag has a diploma in Life Science Information Management from the University of Applied Science in Hannover. She is involved in the implementation, administration and completion of the epidemiological studies with regard to data management. She has compiled the components of the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and accompanies the implementation in African study sites.
