My program of research focuses on health care for acutely and chronically ill infants and children, in community and health care settings. My most recent research focuses on innovative strategies to improve family-centered care and enhance the partnership between families, communities and health care systems to ensure children receive optimal health care before, during and after hospitalization.

Dave Graham-Squire, PhD is a statistician working with multiple research groups in Family Health Care Nursing, the Division of Health and Society, and the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases, and Global Medicine at San Francisco General Hospital. His research focuses on causal effects, particularly in observational studies and non-experimental settings, where randomized controlled studies are not possible. His methodological expertise includes statistical computation, large administrative dataset analysis, survey design, and machine learning techniques for prediction and classification.

I have a broad background in statistics, genetics, and computer science, have been involved in a wide variety of theoretical and applied projects. My my applied work encompasses a wide variety of genetic association studies related to human health, including work on age-related hearing impairment, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
