Sander Greenland is Professor of Epidemiology and Statistics at the University of California, Los Angeles. He received Bachelor's and Master's degrees in mathematics and Master's and Doctoral degrees in Epidemiology from the University of California. Since then he has become a leading contributor to epidemiologic statistics, theory, and methods. His focus has been the limitations and misuse of statistical methods in observational studies. He has authored or co-authored over 300 articles in epidemiology, statistics, and medical journals, and co-authored the textbook Modern Epidemiology. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and the Royal Statistical Society. He has served as an associate editor for several statistics and epidemiology journals, as an advisor for the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Centers for Disease Control, the State of California, and the National Academy of Sciences, and has been an invited speaker at universities and conferences throughout the world.
