Background
I am a statistician with interests in methods for improving the efficiency of clinical trials through better design and analysis approaches. As well as working in methodology development I have a great interest in collaborating on real trials to apply new methods in practice.
I have been in Newcastle since July 2017. I am part of the Biostatistics Research Group.
I started an NIHR Research Professorship in Dec 2021. My programme of work focuses on improving trials for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Research
My research focuses on statistical methods for improved design and analysis of clinical trials. I am particularly interested in:
1) Adaptive designs for clinical trials;
2) Methods for incorporating biomarkers into clinical trials to stratify patients by treatment response;
3) Improved methods for analysing composite endpoints, in particular ones with continuous components.
