Sherri Rose is an American biostatistician. She is an associate professor of health care policy at Stanford University, and once worked at Harvard University. A fellow of the American Statistical Association, she has served as co-editor of Biostatistics since 2019 and Chair of the American Statistical Association’s Biometrics Section. Her research focuses on statistical machine learning for health care policy.
Early life and education
Rose was born and raised in poverty and home violence in Southern New Jersey.{{cite web |title=Celebrating Women in Statistics: Sherri Rose |url=https://magazine.amstat.org/blog/2020/03/01/sherri-rose/ |website=magazine.amstat.org |accessdate=October 7, 2020 |date=March 1, 2020}} She was evicted twice as a child and would often go to bed hungry.{{cite journal |last1=Hatfield |first1=Laura A. |title=A conversation with Sherri Rose, winner of the 2020 health policy statistics section mid-career award |journal=Health Services and Outcomes Research Methodology |date=August 3, 2020 |volume=20 |issue=4 |pages=208–214 |doi=10.1007/s10742-020-00216-6 |s2cid=220948888 |doi-access=free }} Following high school, she attended George Washington University for her Bachelor of Science degree in statistics and the University of California, Berkeley for her PhD in Biostatistics.{{cite web |title=Sherri Rose |url=https://profiles.stanford.edu/sherrirose |website=profiles.stanford.edu |accessdate=October 6, 2020}} Rose was originally enrolled in George Washington's pre-med mechanical and aerospace engineering program but chose to change her major to statistics.
While completing her PhD under the guidance of Mark van der Laan, they co-authored a book on machine learning for causal inference titled Targeted Learning: Causal Inference for Observational and Experimental Data.{{cite book |title=Targeted learning: causal inference for observational and experimental data |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/745004887 |via=worldcat.org |oclc=745004887 |accessdate=October 8, 2020}} Her work was recognized with the Evelyn Fix Memorial Prize and the Chin-Long Chiang Biostatistics Student of the Year Award.{{cite web |title=HCP Welcomes Sherri Rose, Assistant Professor of Biostatistics, and Ateev Mehrotra, Associate Professor of Health Care Policy |url=https://www.hcp.med.harvard.edu/news/hcp-welcomes-sherri-rose-assistant-professor-biostatistics-and-ateev-mehrotra-associate |website=hcp.med.harvard.edu |accessdate=October 8, 2020 |date=February 3, 2014}}
Career

Rose completed her postdoctoral research fellowship at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) before joining Harvard Medical School as an assistant professor of Biostatistics. While at JHU, she received their Delta Omega Scholarship and a Young Investigator Award from the International Conference on Advances in Interdisciplinary Statistics and Combinatorics. Following her first year at Harvard, she was elected to join the editorial board of the Journal of the American Statistical Association Theory and Methods as an associate editor.{{cite web |title=Sherri Rose Joins Editorial Board of the Journal of the American Statistical Association |url=https://www.hcp.med.harvard.edu/news/sherri-rose-joins-editorial-board-journal-american-statistical-association |website=hcp.med.harvard.edu |accessdate=October 8, 2020 |date=August 20, 2015}} Rose also co-founded the Health Policy Data Science Lab with Laura Hatfield to study spending levels in markets, spending goals for accountable care organizations, and mental health outcomes.{{cite web |title=Rose Awarded Harvard Medical School Young Mentor Award |url=https://hcp.hms.harvard.edu/news/rose-awarded-harvard-medical-school-young-mentor-award |website=hcp.hms.harvard.edu |accessdate=October 8, 2020 |date=May 22, 2019}} She was later elected Secretary/Treasurer of the Biometrics Section of the American Statistical Association{{cite web |title=Sherri Rose Elected ASA Biometrics Section Secretary/Treasurer |url=https://www.hcp.med.harvard.edu/news/sherri-rose-elected-asa-biometrics-section-secretarytreasurer |website=hcp.med.harvard.edu |accessdate=October 8, 2020 |date=May 16, 2016}} and promoted to the role of associate professor.{{cite web |title=Sherri Rose Promoted to Associate Professor |url=https://www.hcp.med.harvard.edu/news/sherri-rose-promoted-associate-professor |website=hcp.med.harvard.edu |accessdate=October 8, 2020 |date=May 5, 2016}}
In her role as an associate professor, Rose continued to study statistical machine learning for health care policy. She published a paper in 2017 which used statistical machine learning to determine health economics and outcomes. The paper demonstrated that "new statistical machine learning methods may be better able to search the claims data used for risk adjustment in order to predict health spending".{{cite web |title=Sherri Rose Uses Computational Health Economics to Bring Insight to Risk Adjustment |url=https://hcp.hms.harvard.edu/news/sherri-rose-uses-computational-health-economics-bring-insight-risk-adjustment |website=hcp.hms.harvard.edu |accessdate=October 8, 2020 |date=January 18, 2017}} As a result of her academic research, Rose was the recipient of the inaugural Harvard Data Science Initiative Grant to fund her proposed project "Improving Health Care System Performance: Computational Health Economics with Normative Data for Payment Calibration."{{cite web |title=Sherri Rose Awarded Harvard Data Science Initiative Grant |url=https://hcp.hms.harvard.edu/news/sherri-rose-awarded-harvard-data-science-initiative-grant |website=hcp.hms.harvard.edu |accessdate=October 8, 2020 |date=May 16, 2017}} Another one of her studies, titled Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Causal Inference in Observational Studies, was selected as one of the American Journal of Epidemiology and Society for Epidemiologic Research’s 2017 Articles of the Year.{{cite web |title=Rose Study Selected as an American Journal of Epidemiology and Society for Epidemiologic Research 2017 Article of the Year |url=https://hcp.hms.harvard.edu/news/rose-study-selected-american-journal-epidemiology-and-society-epidemiologic-research-2017 |website=hcp.hms.harvard.edu |accessdate=October 8, 2020 |date=April 5, 2018}} In the same year, she was also one of eight Harvard researchers awarded federal funding from the National Institutes of Health’s "High-Risk, High-Reward" research program.{{cite news |last1=Cooper |first1=Ashley M. |last2=Vrotsos |first2=Luke W. |title=Eight Researchers Funded for 'High-Risk, High-Reward' Projects |url=https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2017/10/26/nih-high-risk-funding/ |accessdate=October 8, 2020 |publisher=Harvard Crimson |date=October 26, 2017}}
