Dr. Linda M. Gerber is an epidemiologist whose research focuses on population health and clinical outcomes, with particular emphasis on traumatic brain injury (TBI), pediatric delirium, and midlife women’s health. Her work in TBI examines clinical trajectories and long-term outcomes following injury, using multicenter and longitudinal datasets. In pediatric critical care, she has contributed extensively to the study of delirium, including its incidence, risk factors, screening approaches, and associations with healthcare utilization and post-discharge outcomes. In midlife women’s health, her research focuses on symptom reporting and measurement, including variability in self-reported symptoms and their relationship to functional status and health outcomes. Across these domains, she applies epidemiologic study design and biostatistical methods to complex clinical and longitudinal data to improve understanding of outcomes and inform evidence-based care.
