Summary

I am an MRC Investigator (Programme Leader Track) working on the development and implementation of (response-) adaptive designs in clinical trials. Currently, I work on the following topics: Adaptive Designs, Dose-Finding Trials, Platform Trials, Bayesian Response-Adaptive Designs, and Quantitative Benefit-Risk analysis.

I provide statistical support in a number of trials, including AGILE-ACCORD (https://www.agiletrial.net/), an early phase trial studying novel therapies for COVID-19 treatments.

If you believe that the trial(s) you are planning can benefit from an adaptive design, feel free to reach me for the discussion – I will be happy to help.

I also consult a number of pharmaceutical companies on the development of novel adaptive designs and support their implementations in ongoing privately funded clinical trials.
