Founder, Managing Director, & Principal Biostatistician
Mark Hensley
Mark has doctoral training in epidemiology from the University of Washington, and a master’s degree in cell and molecular biology from the University of Pennsylvania. He is intimately involved in all scientific strategy, statistical analysis, and scientific writing work on Hensley Biostats projects, and loves the stimulation of helping a team with scientific and statistical brainstorming and planning. Before founding Hensley Biostats, he worked as a biostatistician at a CRO providing statistical services to mid-size and large pharma and medtech companies, working with teams in support of clinical trials. Previous to that, he was a professor directing an undergraduate public health program in which he designed and taught all basic science and statistics courses, and oversaw student research projects.
Outside of his work on client projects, Mark is an accomplished classical pianist and piano teacher, an avid mountaineer, skier, and climber, and an aspiring writer of both fiction and nonfiction.
