Biography
Dr. McClure has diverse research interests, ranging from statistical methodology to environmental epidemiology. Methodologically, Dr. McClure is interested in the design and analysis of randomized clinical trials with multiple outcomes, and methodology for reestimating sample size in on-going randomized trials. She has served as the principle investigator for the Statistical Center for the Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes (SPS3) study, and as the statistical investigator on several other smaller clinical trials. In addition, Dr. McClure is interested in racial and geographic disparities in diseases and the role that the environment plays in those disparities. She served as PI of a NASA grant in which her team investigated the role of satellite derived measures of fine particulate matter in the development of cognitive decline and stroke, and is currently co-PI of a grant concerned with the impact of trace element levels on stroke risk.
