Overview

About the programme

Underpinning all our work in collaborative clinical and healthcare research is a vibrant programme of methodological research. This Biostatistics programme is offered at The University of Manchester.

Our main research themes within biostatistics investigate design and analysis of both randomised trials and epidemiological studies. These include inference from large e-health datasets and statistical modelling of high-dimensional genomic/biomarker data and clustered or correlated outcomes.

Programme Structure

Our research covers:

Modern statistical approaches to causal inference
The design and analysis of efficient and adaptive randomised controlled trials
Meta-analysis
Inference from large e-health datasets such as CPRD and the HFEA
Applications of complex statistical modelling, including the use of Bayesian methods, to high-dimensional genomic/biomarker data, neuroscience and clustered or correlated outcomes arising in assisted reproduction research;
Computationally intensive statistical methods;
Genetic epidemiology;
Prediction/prognostic modelling
