cupples award 400x241The Department of Biostatistics presented the L. Adrienne Cupples Award for Excellence in Teaching, Research, and Service in Biostatistics to Nicholas P. Jewell, professor of biostatistics and statistics at the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health, on April 5.

Jewell gave a seminar titled “A Statistician’s Challenges with Infectious Diseases: From HIV to Dengue,” presented to faculty and students in the Department of Biostatistics prior to receiving the award. He also met with faculty and students in the Graduate Program in Biostatistics to discuss his experiences as a biostatistician and the future of the field.

Jewell holds a PhD in mathematics from the University of Edinburgh. He has taught introductory biostatistics to more than 3,000 students around the world, with notes from his courses resulting in the publication of two major biostatistics textbooks. He has served on the editorial boards of 13 statistical and biostatistical journals, and his methodologic and collaborative peer-reviewed publications have been recognized in his election to the National Academy of Medicine and his elected fellowships in the American Statistical Association, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The annual L. Adrienne Cupples Award for Excellence in Teaching, Research, and Service in Biostatistics recognizes a biostatistician whose academic achievements reflect the contributions to biostatistics exemplified by L. Adrienne Cupples, professor of biostatistics and epidemiology, the award’s first recipient.

Cupples came to SPH in 1981 and served as the founding chair of the Department of Biostatistics and co-executive director of the Graduate Program in Biostatistics. During her time at SPH, she has advanced the field of biostatistics through more than 600 publications in major journals and book chapters on collaborative and methodological research, development and effective teaching of a wide range of biostatistics courses, and mentorship of numerous graduate students and faculty.
