Jordan McAdam is a dedicated Postdoctoral Fellow at The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, where he leverages his extensive expertise in epidemiology to address critical health issues affecting military personnel and their families. With a PhD in Epidemiology, Jordan's research focuses on the intersection of environmental and occupational health, cancer epidemiology, and community-based participatory research. His current projects exemplify his commitment to advancing public health knowledge and improving health outcomes within military populations.
One of Jordan's key projects involves investigating DNA methylation patterns in pre-diagnostic serum samples to assess pancreatic cancer risk. This innovative research aims to identify potential biomarkers that could lead to earlier detection and intervention strategies. Additionally, he is examining the concordance of race and ethnicity data between administrative records and questionnaire data in a cohort of US military personnel and their dependents, which is crucial for understanding health disparities and ensuring equitable healthcare access.
Jordan's work also includes analyzing the exposure to a mixture of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and its association with testicular cancer risk. By employing advanced statistical analyses and data management techniques, including SAS programming, he is able to draw meaningful insights from complex datasets. His proficiency in systematic reviews, qualitative research, and literature reviews further enhances his ability to contribute to the field.
With over five years of experience in statistical analyses and a strong foundation in social determinants of health, Jordan McAdam is poised to make significant contributions to military medicine and public health research, ultimately striving to improve the health and well-being of those who serve.
