Upcoming courses:
Advanced Biostatistical Methods for MedTech: Evaluating Diagnostic Devices
This course addresses the advanced statistical techniques essential for modern diagnostic devices, which increasingly leverage novel biomarkers, imaging tools, and AI-driven algorithms. Participants will learn specialised approaches to sensitivity and specificity analysis, methods for handling verification bias, and statistical techniques suited to the unique challenges of diagnostic accuracy across diverse patient populations and clinical settings. With a focus on robust data interpretation and regulatory readiness, this course equips biostatisticians with the skills needed to validate innovative diagnostic methods and produce reliable, actionable evidence.
Advanced Biostatistical Methods for MedTech: Therapeutic Device Studies
This course explores specialised biostatistical techniques for the evaluation of a variety of therapeutic devices, emphasising sophisticated methods tailored to efficacy, safety, and precision. Participants will engage with advanced modelling strategies for handling multi-site variability, longitudinal data, and time-to-event analyses, essential for robust, high-stakes data interpretation in therapeutic device trials. Designed for experienced biostatisticians, the course offers in-depth coverage of methods that meet the rigorous demands of pivotal trials and support regulatory frameworks.
Advanced Biostatistical Methods for MedTech: Clinical Trials in Aesthetic Medicine
Specialised for aesthetic medical devices, this course examines advanced biostatistical methods tailored to the unique challenges of trials involving subjective and patient-reported outcomes, as well as stringent safety and adverse events monitoring. Participants will explore hierarchical modelling, handling high variability, multivariate techniques to capture nuanced treatment effects, and methods for assessing device safety and adverse events over time. With an emphasis on statistical rigour for both safety and efficacy, this course equips biostatisticians to meet the distinctive analytical requirements of aesthetic device trials and regulatory standards.
Bayesian Modelling in Stata for Biostatisticians
This course is suited to qualified biostatisticians who are looking to add Bayesian modelling and simulation using MCMC methods to their tool-belt using Stata. Applications to meta-analysis, sample size calculation and other tasks relevant to clinical trials in the life science industry are covered.
