Erika Moen, PhD, ms
Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Data Science and The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice
University of Chicago - PhD in Cancer Biology and MS in Translational Science, 2010-2014
Brown University - BA in Biology, 2005-2009
I completed postdoctoral training at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice and I joined the faculty in the Department of Biomedical Data Science at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth in 2018. The underlying motivation behind my research program is to evaluate and optimize cancer patient access to care and outcomes by analyzing large health and health care datasets.

University of New Hampshire - PhD and MA in Sociology, 2009-2017
Keene State College - BA in Sociology, 2005-2009
On Dr. Moen’s team, I am currently working on a project aimed at understanding cancer care delivery. In this project, I provide programming and analytic support in Medicare claims data to create a cohort of breast cancer patients and physician network datasets. Before coming to TDI, I worked as a Research Scientist at the Carsey School of Public Policy where I used US Census data to investigate rural-urban disparities in various economic, educational, and social outcomes.

University of Southern California – MPH with a concentration in Biostatistics and Epidemiology, 2019-2021
Colby-Sawyer College – BS in Biology, minors in Chemistry and Pre-medical Studies, 2012-2015
I am currently a student in the QBS PhD program, where I first began working with Dr. Moen during my Fall 2021 rotation. On Dr. Moen’s team, I hope to gain the skills of a health services researcher and epidemiologist in order to better understand access and quality of medical care as well as identifying ways to improve the delivery of health care. I came to this lab with a background in psychiatric research, and I am excited to combine my interests in mental health with cancer care.
Ashlee Korsberg, MS
Dartmouth Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies – Quantitative Biomedical Sciences Master’s Program, concentration in Health Data Science
Harvard University – BA in History and Science, secondary in Global Health and Health Policy, 2013 – 2017
I am a graduate of the QBS Master’s program, studying health data science. I’m interested in evaluating how health inequities impact access to and quality of healthcare, and specifically how health disparities impact maternal and newborn care, and cancer care. I’m working on Dr. Moen’s team as a Research Analyst where I’m excited to learn more about health services research and cancer care. Before graduate school, I worked as a Data Analyst and Consultant on a healthcare consulting team.

St. Edward’s University – BS in Mathematics, Bioinformatics, 2018-2022
I am a PhD student in the QBS program, and I joined Dr. Moen’s lab in 2024. I’m interested in researching social determinants of health that impact quality of care and patient experiences. I'm excited to learn how network analysis methods can be utilized to better understand these disparities. Before coming to Dartmouth, I researched applications of random matrix theory for network analysis and worked in a cancer genetics lab.
