Brian's research interests are varied. On the applied side he has worked previously in areas such as mental health, obstetrics and gynaecology, liver disease, opthalmology, radiology, gerontology and more recently in the area of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, hepatitis C virus, systemic lupus erythematosus and psoriatic arthritis. On the methodological side he has an interest in event history and longitudinal data modelling, efficiency and bias, bioinformatics and in causal inference. |
