Research Interest
Dr. Delongchamp is a professor in the Departments of Epidemiology and an adjunct professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and a contract employee consultant to the Center for Public Health Practice at the Arkansas Department of Health.
During my career, I have worked at the National Center for Toxicological Research (20 years), the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (5 years), and Dow Corning Corporation (4 years). At NCTR my research interests were to provide a sound scientific interpretation of the toxicological or epidemiological data that underlie risk assessments; in particular statistical issues associated with emerging technologies in genetic studies. At RERF, I evaluated the mortality and cancer incidence in the cohort of in utero exposed atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At DCC, I evaluated data on silicone medical devices such as joint replacements and breast implants.
Since coming to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, I have continued to work on methods to deal with multiple comparison issues in analyses of ‘omics data. I am developing methods to estimate disease rates in small areas, e.g., census block groups. These estimates have been used by the Arkansas Department of Health to target interventions and to evaluate disease clusters.
