Shih-Chen Kuo

I am a pharmacist-epidemiologist with expertise in clinical and diabetes epidemiology, health economics and outcomes research, and computational simulation modeling. I am an Associate Research Scientist of Internal Medicine in the Division of Metabolism, Endocrinology & Diabetes in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School, and a member of the diabetes modeling group in the Michigan Center for Diabetes Translational Research. My research focus is to identify innovative and scalable approaches to help healthcare professionals and policymakers make sound decisions about enhancing patient-centered clinical care, health policies, and public health strategies for diabetes management, primarily by leveraging insights from pharmacoepidemiology, comparative effectiveness research, economic evaluation, computational simulation modeling, and decision-analytic sciences from the payer, healthcare sector, and societal perspectives. I have been working and collaborating with many multidisciplinary researchers in the United States, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and Australia to lead, co-lead, or conduct health economics and outcomes research in diabetes using data from large electronic health records, claims databases, and landmark multicenter randomized controlled trials.
