Profile
Dr. Mayer is a professor of biostatistics, epidemiology, public health and medicine. He trained as a physician, a medical epidemiologist and then as a statistician and biostatistician. Prides himself on being able to communicate complex ideas in simple language. He splits his professional time between Baltimore and Phoenix. His primary interests are the evaluation and validation of statistical and epidemiological data and models in a clinical, regulatory, or legal arena. Focuses on problems where the medical issues are complex, the methods and models are varied and the data are limited or contradictory. Problems often include analysis of the methodology applied, analysis of the inferences made from a given set of statistical methods and complex chart reviews across specialties and across patients. Has worked on problems in drug and device development and regulation, product liability, occupational and environmental exposures, medical malpractice, and data and model interpretation in numerous specialties including toxicology, cardiology, Ob/Gyne, and surgery. Has given about twenty depositions in a variety of cases ranging from major federal litigation to state personal injury and malpractice suits.
