Jessica Young

I am an affiliated researcher at CAUSALab focusing on pharmacoepidemiology 
and causal inference. My overarching goal is to develop methods for
leveraging observational data to conduct timely research improving public
health.
In my position at CAUSALab KI, I collaborate with Swedish registry holders
and clinical trialists to develop and apply methods needed to extend
inference from clinical trials to larger populations.
