ProfileDr. Lior Rennert is Associate Dean for Health Sciences in the College of Behavioral, Social, and Health Sciences, Associate Professor of Biostatistics in the Department of Public Health Sciences, and Founding Director of the Clemson Center for Public Health Modeling and Response. He received his PhD degree in Biostatistics from the University of Pennsylvania’s Pearlman School of Medicine, MS degree in Statistics from the University of Chicago, and BS in Mathematics from The Pennsylvania State University. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Rennert led Clemson’s Public Health Strategy team to provide data analytics and help guide university policy. His current work focuses on the development of data-driven approaches to guide health-related decision making. His research has led to over 70 high-impact publications in the top scientific, medical, and health journals. Over the past 2 years, he has procured approximately $30 million in funding as principal investigator from the National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. His projects aim to develop a statewide network for real-time opioid and infectious disease outbreak detection, forecasting, and coordinating emergency health response. In these efforts, Dr. Rennert has helped build statewide and national collaborations between state health departments, health systems, community partners, and academic institutions in order to integrate Center research into practice and ultimately improve health outcomes across the state of South Carolina and the nation. | |
