 Stephen Lagakos |
Stephen Lagakos, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, died Monday after the SUV he was driving crossed the median and hit another car. Lagakos's wife, Regina, 61, and mother Helen, 94, were also killed in the crash, as was the driver of the other car, Stephen Krause, 52, of Keene, N.H. Lagakos worked in the department of biostatistics. In his biography on Harvard's website, the university says Lagakos's current research "involves a variety of statistical issues arising in clinical trials and other longitudinal studies with particular emphasis on statistical methods and analyses relating to HIV and other infectious diseases."
Harvard Dean for Academic Affairs David Hunter said in a statement that the death of Lagakos was "a terrible and shocking loss to our community." Lagakos joined the Harvard faculty more than 30 years ago.
"Steve educated several generations of biostatistics students, and his many postdoctoral fellows were devoted to him as a kind and compassionate teacher and mentor," Hunter said. "Steve was always generous with his time -- both in statistical matters, and also as a citizen of Harvard, having served with good cheer and much wisdom on many committees and given sage advice to many."
Additionally, Lagakos was the director of the Center for Biostatistics in AIDS Research at Harvard, whose mission is "to foster and conduct statistical scientific activity in clinical trials and other public health research areas in HIV disease," according to their website.
Lagakos's biography page said he received his PhD in 1972 from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
