Key publications
2014 'Adiposity, chronic inflammation, and the prepubertal decline of sex hormone binding globulin in children: evidence for associations with the timing of puberty (Earlybird 58)' J Clin Endocrinol Metab 99, (9) 3224-3232 , DOI
Teaching interests
I teach the Evidence-Based Medicine module to Bachelor of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery undergraduates. I have also designed and created innovative on-line vidcasts, for which I have co-led the development of a simulation programme to illustrate the statistics of diagnostic studies.
I am also a tutor for postgraduate research students, providing statistical support for their dissertation projects in the Faculty of Health.
Research interests
- Medical statistics & trial design
- Electronic health records and routinely collected data. I can offer advice on:
- Proposals and applications for data use
- Data management and preparation
- Study design and analysis
- Causal inference on observational data: Propensity score analysis; Instrumental variable analysis; before-and-after designs
- Mixed effects analysis of longitudinal/panel data & growth modelling
- Cluster trials: design and analysis
- Early-phase trials: PD and Proof-of-Concept
- Experimental design: Factorial, fractional factorial & response-surface design
- Survival analysis
- Data mining & cluster analysis
Other research
NIHR - School of Public Health Research funded research into health care quality in later life (specifically using electronic health records)
