Beyond the Divide:How Collaboration Shapes the Future of Medical Statistics
About this Event
Statistics has always sat at the interface between scientific innovation and practical application. Yet academia and industry often operate in parallel rather than in partnership, each bringing different perspectives, incentives, and constraints. Academic statisticians are encouraged to innovate, question assumptions, and develop new methodology, while industry statisticians face the challenge of applying statistical science to support critical decisions in highly regulated environments.
This event will inlcude speakers from both sides of the divide reflecting on their own experiences and practice.

Info: At a time when clinical trials are becoming increasingly complex, with greater use of innovative designs, adaptive methodologies, Bayesian approaches, real-world evidence, and novel sources of data, collaboration between academic researchers, industry practitioners, and regulators has never been more important. This presentation will explore opportunities to strengthen these connections, ensuring that statistical innovation remains relevant, implementable, and focused on improving decision-making. By strengthening collaboration across sectors, we can accelerate methodological progress and increase the impact of our work on medical research and healthcare.
