3. Research
I systematically review the
literature to highlight potential
treatments and conduct clinical
trials to investigate treatments in
several disease areas.
I work on evaluating treatments for
several diseases by analysing
clinical trial data in meta-analysis
models to inform clinical practice.
My role in most of the research
projects is to provide the
methodological and statistical
expertise required to carry out clinical
research work. These clinical
research skills and knowledge were
used to study/advance many disease
areas.
I further published 12 educational
notes to guide physicians and
researchers on the appropriate
research methodology and statistical
use in the field of clinical medical
research.
