Richard Klein is a Clinical Data Scientist at the FDA with a PhD in Social Psychology and over 11 years of experience applying rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods to clinical and behavioral data. He designs safety data review plans and performs in-depth safety analyses for NDAs/BLAs, translating complex signals into actionable recommendations for decision makers. Prior roles include leading a 22-person team in methodological audits, reanalyzing hundreds of papers with multi-verse approaches, and assessing privacy risks across thousands of datasets—work that helped secure funding for reproducibility and privacy tooling. He combines experimental design, data pipeline development, and process improvement to answer nuanced questions about human behavior and trial safety.
