I am a biostatistician with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, based in Malawi, where I lead the Statistical Support Unit at the Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Research Programme.
Great speech by our #SSACAB director at the opening ceremony of #IBSSUSAN2025.

Opening ceremony of the #IBSSUSAN2025 conference in Addis Ababa. Looking forward to several days of exciting discussions with leading and up-and-coming biostatisticians in sub-Saharan Africa. Also great to see a strong #SSACAB representation, driving the future of biostatistics on the continent.

#ISCB46 very nice talk by Michael Kammer on COVID-19 prognostic models, which involved a ‘deep dive’ into the pond life of modelling.

New paper out: doi.org/10.1007/s106...

This is outside of my usual focus area - the stuff your PhD students get you into ;-)

This is work that Patrick is building on to investigate associations between urban plastic waste and human health using remote sensing - exciting and important stuff!
Mapping waste piles in an urban environment using ground surveys, manual digitization of drone imagery, and object based image classification approach - Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
There is wide recognition of the threats posed by the open dumping of waste in the environment. However, tools to surveil interventions for reducing this practice are poorly developed. This study expl...

Very exciting to attend a Sander Greenland talk and being lectured on bad practices in epidemiology and biostatistics - and how to do better and change practice in the next generation of researchers. #IBC2024ATL
