Biostatistics MPhil

Our PhD/MPhil Biostatistics programme enables you to undertake a research project that will improve understanding of Biostatistics.<br/><br/>Underpinning all our work in collaborative clinical and healthcare research is a vibrant programme of methodological research. Our main research themes within biostatistics investigate design and analysis of both randomised trials and epidemiological studies. These include inference from large e-health datasets and statistical modelling of high-dimensional genomic/biomarker data and clustered or correlated outcomes. More information on the research that we conduct at The University of Manchester can be found on the Biostatistics research pages http://research.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/biostatistics/research .<br/><br/>In particular, our research covers:<br/><br/><br/>• Modern statistical approaches to causal inference<br/><br/><br/><br/>• The design and analysis of efficient and adaptive randomised controlled trials<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Meta-analysis<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Inference from large e-health datasets such as CPRD and the HFEA<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Applications of complex statistical modelling, including the use of Bayesian methods, to high-dimensional <br/><br/><br/><br/> genomic/biomarker data, neuroscience and clustered or correlated outcomes arising in assisted reproduction research;<br/>• Computationally intensive statistical methods;<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Genetic epidemiology;<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Prediction/prognostic modelling<br/><br/>
