Spencer Woody, PhD

Clinical Biostatistican

I am a Biostatistics Manager at Amgen Inc.

Before joining Amgen, I was a postdoctoral fellow working with Professor Lauren Ancel Meyers within the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin. I earned my PhD in statistics at UT in summer 2020 co-supervised by Professors James G. Scott and Jared S. Murray. I also worked as a research assistant for Professor Carlos M. Carvahlo.

From 2017 to 2018 I worked as a statistician in the laboratory of Dr. Livia Eberlin at the UT Department of Chemisty. The Eberlin Lab apply ambient mass spectrometry techniques to tissue diagnosis, disease biomarker detection, and other clinical settings. I have also worked as a statistical consultant for the Department of Women’s Health at the Dell Medical School.
