Bio
Amparo Casanova, MD PhD
Elisa worked with me at the Population Health Research Institute as my research assistant during the summer, and assisted me in four different projects, with great productivity. Elisa possesses a very good understanding of mathematical and statistical concepts, high skills in the use of research software (statistical, graphical software, as well as literature search tools), and excellent organizational skills. Elisa communicates very well indeed, both oral and in writing, and she is able to adapt her message to a diverse audience. She is respectful and pleasant. Elisa shows great initiative and independence, and acquires new concepts very fast, which are some of her most remarkable strengths. I hope to have the opportunity to working with her again in the future.
