Do you have a burning medical statistics/AI related question that you would like to discuss with the wider Oxford Biomedical community? Submit your question in advance and join the drop-in session, where Lei Clifton and Anshul Thakur will address your query. If you’re interested in being part of the conversation but don’t have a specific question, feel free to attend the session in person and follow along. This is an excellent opportunity to engage in knowledge exchange with your peers.

The session will be informal and conversational, encouraging participants to share their perspectives on medical statistics and AI. There will be no set agenda or predefined topics of focus; instead, the discussion will evolve organically based on the questions and interests brought forward on the day. Attendees are free to drop in, ask questions, and contribute to an open exchange of ideas.

While the session will not include presentations or detailed statistical analysis, general advice on study design and statistical methods will be provided. The emphasis will be on applying statistical and AI thinking to real-world questions rather than conducting in-depth explorations of predefined topics.

👉 Please note: this is an in-person event only.
