Chris Sutton is Senior Lecturer in Clinical Trial Statistics within the Biostatistics Group and, as a key part of his role, provides methodological leadership within the CTU. He also co-ordinates the delivery of the statistics input for approximately 25 trials on the CTU portfolio, including trials in cancer, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and other diseases and conditions; most of these have either David or Yvonne as ‘Trial Statistician’.
Chris, David and Yvonne will present on their own individual roles and experiences as CTU statisticians and methodologists, with particular emphasis on aspects specific to working as part of a CTU. Their presentations will include examples of CTU trials, and how the statistics team works together and with the other CTU teams.
