- I am a CRUK PRC Fellow & Senior Research Associate at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge.
- I have a strong interest and great enthusiasm for methodological research to improve the efficiency of clinical trials. My most recent research is about basket trials, where a new treatment can be evaluated in various patient subgroups simultaneously.
- I am currently holding a three-year research fellowship titled IDENT: Improving Design and analysis of oncology trials Evaluating New targeted Therapies.

Research
Topics falling under the general remit of medical statistics are interesting to me. I am particularly fascinated with:- Bayesian adaptive designs,
- early phase oncology trials, and
- data augmentation techniques for trials with a small sample size.
MPhil/PhD supervision
I am pleased to supervise PhD students in Michaelmas (October) 2023. Detailed information can be found at https://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/phd-project-with-haiyan-zheng/
Please get in touch if you are interested. I am very keen to support enthusiastic students and create an effective training plan.
In your email, you are encouraged to enclose 1) your CV, and 2) a brief statement of which PhD project has interested you and how your research/experience is relevant.
Kindly note that strong quantitative background is a prerequisite.
