In his current role, Zia is working on projects related to Alberta’s administrative health data, providing methodological and analytical support for the various aspects of the projects that utilize Alberta’s administrative health data for research purposes. Zia is also a trained biostatistician with over a decade of academic and industry experience developing new research ideas and seeing them through to completion.
