Biography
Astrid Suchy-Dicey is an epidemiologist with career interests in chronic and aging-related disease. She joined the faculty of the College of Nursing in 2015. Her work aims to understand complex disease systems, particularly those involving metabolic and dynamic disturbance of biological functions related to the blood. A driving force in her research program is to question assumptions of simplicity in human health and illness. Her research on novel evaluations of blood pressure has helped to establish that mean blood pressure provides an inadequate summary of inter-individual differences in organ function and disease risk. Her evaluation of a novel measure of kidney function challenges the use of filtration-specific disease models in clinical nephrology. Other work addresses the etiology and long-term outcomes of diabetes, kidney disease, and cerebrovascular disease, with a special focus on neurodegeneration.
Research Interest
Quantitative analytics, and 2) novel methods for evaluating metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
