Researchers at the MRC Biostatistics Unit are actively engaged in the effort to understand and mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic.  A number of us are members of national scientific and advisory groups, and are involved in collaborations related to the outbreak in the UK, Italy and worldwide.

Using statistical modelling, analyses, and design, we are providing

• estimates of key epidemic quantities
• improved understanding of COVID-19 and its effects
• support for improved management of patients and triaging of resources
• evidence for the impact of clinical interventions
