Aysun Cetinyurek Yavuz

Aysun Cetinyurek Yavuz is a Senior Researcher at Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Her research encompasses statistical methodology for survival analysis, including semiparametric frailty models for clustered interval-censored data and Bayesian penalized B-splines for smooth estimation of survival functions and hazard ratios. She has contributed to genetic epidemiology studies examining HLA polymorphisms and allele distributions in various disease contexts, including Henoch-Schönlein purpura, sarcoidosis, and population genetics in Turkish cohorts. Her work extends to clinical research on apical periodontitis, emergency department utilization, and robust statistical methods for non-normal error distributions. Her most-cited publication addresses decision-making criteria and methods for initiating late-stage clinical trials in drug development from a multi-stakeholder perspective.
