Kyle Ferber

Associate Director, Biostatistics at Biogen

Cambridge, Massachusetts

Summary

Experienced biostatistician contributing to translational biomarker research in industry settings, particularly at Biogen (Cambridge, MA). Appears repeatedly on multi-author biomarker and translational research papers where roles include data curation, formal analysis, and manuscript drafting/review. nih+2
Developer and contributor to statistical software and methodological work for high-dimensional ordinal/ordinal-like models — evidenced by authorship on the ordinalgmifs R package and a PhD dissertation on penalized ordinal response models. r-project+1
Publishes across academic and consortium efforts, bridging academic methods and industry biomarker applications — authorship spans methodological biostatistics work (dissertation, methodological papers) to large collaborative biomarker and pharmacodynamic studies. nih+2
Formally trained in mathematics and biostatistics (BS in Mathematics; PhD in Biostatistics), providing a technical foundation for modelling, software development, and analysis in biomedical research contexts. vcu
