Adam Berrones is an epidemiologist with the Kentucky Office of Inspector General (KY-OIG) for the KASPER (Kentucky All Schedule Prescription Electronic Reporting) system. Having earned a Ph.D. in exercise physiology from the University of Kentucky, Adam's approach to data analysis is research-driven and methodical. The work Adam does for KY-OIG is primarily internal, and focuses on drug investigations. Funded by the Department of Justice, he has worked with FBI, DEA, and HHS-OIG on complex federal cases using data science to drill-down into KASPER. Adam is a member of the Maternal Mortality Review Committee and has published his PDMP work, having collaborated with the University of Louisville.
