Izabela Zakowska

At the Medical University of Lodz, I analyze 500,000-patient NFZ healthcare datasets in SAS to answer observational research questions and produce decision-ready evidence.

I've built reusable SAS programs and macros, prepared EHR and hospital/administrative data, defined ICD-10 cohorts, and applied validation checks across complex longitudinal analyses. I translate study objectives into documented analytical logic, descriptive and multivariable models, tables, visualizations, and clear scientific narratives.

I contribute statistical input to protocols and statistical analysis plans, interpret findings in clinical and epidemiological context, and support end-to-end manuscript publication, including reviewer responses. My work includes retrospective observational studies, cluster randomized controlled trials, surveys, panel and multilevel models.

I've worked in international research environments at King's College London and National Chiao Tung University, taught medical statistics, supervised master's theses, managed a research grant, and completed 13 peer reviews for high-impact journals.
