Course Description
Our PhD/MPhil Biostatistics programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Biostatistics.
Underpinning all our work in collaborative clinical and healthcare research is a vibrant programme of methodological research. Our main research themes within biostatistics investigate design and analysis of both randomised trials and epidemiological studies, including the management and analysis of large e-health datasets and complex statistical modelling of high-dimensional biomarker data and clustered or correlated outcomes.
In particular, our research covers:
-
Modern statistical approaches to causal inference
-
The design and analysis of randomised trials and other clinical experiments (including the evaluation of complex interventions)
-
The management and analysis of large ehealth data sets;
-
Complex statistical modelling, including the use of Bayesian methods, including applications to high-dimensional biomarker data and clustered or correlated outcomes arising from measurements repeated over time (including repeated events or interventions);
-
Interventions being provided to groups of participants rather than individuals;
-
Measurement error evaluation and modelling;
-
Genetic epidemiology;
-
Survival, event-history and frailty models.
-
Prediction/prognostic modelling.
