Jacqueline Murphy

MMath MSc DPhil

Medical Statistician

I am a medical statistician based in the Medical Statistics Group where I primarily work on projects related to diagnostics in primary care settings as part of the NIHR Community Healthcare MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC) and the NIHR HealthTech Research Centre (HRC) for Community Healthcare.

I contribute to medical statistics teaching activities co-ordinated by the Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

I completed a DPhil in the Nuffield Department of Population Health, where my research involved the development and application of statistical risk prediction models for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease using data from a large cohort study of 0.5m adults in China.

My ongoing interests within applied medical statistics and statistical epidemiology include: diagnostics, prediction modelling and risk scores, and large observational and/or routinely collected data.

I have worked on research projects in a range of clinical applications including: cardiovascular disease, cancer (bowel/cervical/prostate, including population screening and prognosis), and orthopaedics.

Qualifications:
MMath Mathematics (Durham University)
MSc Medical Statistics (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine)
