Summary of Experience
Mr. Laliberté specializes in biostatistics and the economics of health outcomes research. He investigates multiple facets of health research, including safety, cost of illness, resource utilization, adherence to therapies, cost effectiveness, and treatment outcomes. Mr. Laliberté’s varied research has examined numerous forms of cancers, respiratory diseases, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and venous thromboembolism. He has additional expertise in the retrospective database analysis of claims and electronic medical records, and in retrospective medical chart review studies and clinical trial data analyses. Mr. Laliberté’s research has yielded important findings in his field which have been presented at the conferences of the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), among others. He has published numerous papers in medical journals, including articles in CHEST and the American Journal of Hematology.
