A great day of teaching at our Introduction to Adaptive Clinical Trials: Ethical & Statistical Considerations, with lectures and discussion sessions led by Sofia Villar and David Robertson from the BSU, and Mackenzie Graham and Mark Sheehan from University of Oxford.

Our Ethics and Innovative Trial Designs workshop is off to a great start with a talk from Philip Pallmann on adaptive designs in action.

Great talks are continuing at the Ethics and Innovative Trial Designs workshop, with Alex John London from Carnegie Mellon University and Jerome Singh from Uni KwaZulu-Natal on the ethical aspects of adaptive designs.

A brilliant day at our Ethics and Innovative Trial Designs workshop. Thanks to the fantastic speakers, co-organisers and sponsors, and to all those who attended 🤩

We are delighted to have Peter Mueller from the University of Texas visiting our Unit. Today he is delivering the first part of a short course on Nonparametric Bayesian Methods in Biostatistics and Bioinformatics.

Last week, Sofia S. Villar gave a talk at AstraZeneca about her expert research on response-adaptive randomisation in #ClinicalTrials, discussing the strengths and limitations of response-adaptive studies.
