COVID-19 Pandemic Response
Medical statistics was a key part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many teams, we applied our experience with data analysis, real-world evidence and international collaboration to help healthcare systems around the world respond to the health crisis, and learn from it.
In the PHI lab, while we focus on issues of planetary health, we are part of the Centre for Statistics in Medicine here at the University of Oxford. That means a lot of our experience and expertise comes from the world of medical statistics and epidemiology, and we use that to explore the intersections between human health and the environment.
During the pandemic, we focused our research efforts on COVID-19. We used our experience working with real-world evidence and big data to support projects on mortality, patient outcomes, and vaccine success, with national and international partners.
