Research

Dr. Ward has extensive experience with cancer surveillance and control activities, population science, population-based registry data, registry operations, data security, electronic capture of cancer case data, linkage of data to external data sources, and uses of the registry for research purposes. He collaborates with students and researchers across the nation to analyze existing registry datasets and to utilize the population-based Georgia Cancer Registry as a linkage source or sampling frame for countless research studies. Data from the Georgia Center for Cancer Statistics furthers our understanding of cancer in Georgia and is used to develop strategies and policies for cancer prevention and control.
