The research activities of the Centre for Medical Statistics and Methodology of Clinical Research are structured around key methodological and applied pillars, encompassing the entire continuum of clinical experimentation and evidence synthesis:
Design and Conduct of Clinical Trials (“From concept to results”)
Development and implementation of statistical methodologies across the full lifecycle of primary clinical studies. Research activities span from the conceptual phase of study design and protocol planning to data analysis, evaluation of efficacy, prognosis, and diagnosis, as well as formal reporting of results.
Real-World Evidence
Methodological research focused on analysing epidemiological and healthcare data generated in routine clinical practice, aimed at evaluating treatment safety, tolerability, and effectiveness in real-world settings.
Evidence Synthesis
Application and refinement of quantitative and qualitative synthesis methodologies, including systematic reviews, classical meta-analyses, and network meta-analyses for the simultaneous comparison of multiple interventions.
Collaborative Scope and Key Clinical Specialties
The Centre maintains a strong interdisciplinary focus, actively collaborating with healthcare professionals across diverse medical disciplines. Scientific engagement is particularly prominent in key specialized clinical fields, including: Oncology, Haematology, Cardiology, Neonatology, Pneumology, Infectious Diseases, Rheumatology, Radiotherapy, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Gastroenterology
