Dr Peter Godolphin, MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL
Dr Peter Godolphin is a statistician and senior research fellow in the meta-analysis programme at MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL. He works on meta-analysis projects predominantly in advanced prostate cancer, but also contributes to work in COVID-19 and women’s health. In addition, he has an interest in developing new statistical methods in meta-analysis, currently focusing on approaches that determine whether the effect of a treatment varies based on participant-level factors (so called interactions or subgroup analysis), and maximising the use of individual participant data during meta-analysis. -
