Personal profile
Biography
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.
