About Brian Jackson, M.D.
Dr. Jackson’s primary research is in health services related to laboratory diagnosis. He has used retrospective data analysis to study utilization patterns in prostate cancer screening and inherited thrombophilia diagnosis and compared them to the patterns that would be expected under strict compliance with applicable clinical practice guidelines. He has also studied the cost-effectiveness of various laboratory testing strategies, including pathogen detection in donated blood products and diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori.
A secondary area of focus is mathematical modeling as a mechanism to augment laboratory diagnosis. His work has included simulation modeling of infectious disease transmission in order to estimate nosocomial transmission rates and develop optimal surveillance strategies.
