MRC Research Professor of Biostatistics and Director of the Medical Research Council Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge

Biography

My work has contributed to progress in epidemiological understanding and has covered spatial modelling and disease mapping, mixture and clustering models as well as integrative analysis of observational data from different sources. My recent research has focussed on modelling and analysis of large data problems such as those arising in genomics.

Research

I have worked extensively in many areas of biostatistics research and have made extensive contributions to the statistical modelling of complex biomedical data, in particular from a Bayesian perspective.
