Summary
Nick Salkowski is a Principal Statistician with 13 years of applied biostatistics experience, currently supporting clinical trials and statistical processes at Medtronic after a decade leading analyses and public reporting innovations for the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. He holds a PhD in Biostatistics from the University of Minnesota and combines deep expertise in R programming with practical experience in SAS, survival models, joint and Bayesian longitudinal models, and quality-monitoring for transplant programs. Nick has a track record of translating complex statistical methods into actionable public reporting and policy guidance, mentoring other statisticians along the way. His background in environmental and epidemiologic research—spanning air pollution effects to vaccine trials—gives him a multidisciplinary perspective on study design and causal inference. Based in Saint Paul, he pairs rigorous academic training with hands-on delivery in regulated clinical contexts, and he brings an unusual mix of paleontology and geoscience roots to his analytic curiosity.
