Biography
Marc Henrion originally trained in Mathematics at Imperial College London, then completed a PhD on statistical pattern recognition applied to digital sky surveys.
For his postdoctoral research, undertaken at the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, he worked with similar statistical techniques, but changed domain to genetics and genomic science, working in genetic epidemiology.
Since 2017, he has been based in Malawi, at the Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme, where he set-up and is leading the Statistical Support Unit – shortly to restructure into a more general Data Science and Computationally Modelling Unit.
Research interests
Marc’s research is in the field of applied biostatistics. His statistical research interests lie in flexible multivariable regression modelling, in particular applied to serological data to inform vaccine schedules, methods for diagnostic accuracy studies, and statistical software for applied epidemiology. Originally, his background lies in statistical genetics, classification and related pattern recognition techniques, many of which fall under the more general banner of machine learning. Marc also provides biostatistical support to clinical trials and observational, epidemiological or immunological studies. He has continued to pursue his interests in statistical genetics through analysis of transcriptomic data from human challenge experiments. He is deeply passionate about building biostatistical capacity in Malawi and the wider sub-Saharan African region.
Teaching
Marc is currently the Training Lead for Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme. He teaches an annual R & statistics short course, both in Malawi and at LSTM in the UK (both open to remote participation).
He teaches the Bayesian Data Analysis module at the University of Malawi – on the only biostatistics MSc programme in Malawi.
He teaches several statistics classes on the Clinical Research Methods course at Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, and a statistics class on the CRIT course at Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme / Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital.
Marc also supervises PhD and MSc students.
