Gianmarco Caruso receives Wellcome Early-Career Award Fellowship

Gianmarco has been working at the MRC Biostatistics Unit as a Research Associate since 2023 in the Efficient Study Design theme. His five-year Fellowship which will start in early 2027, will be focusing on: Estimation-Driven Adaptive Trials: A Framework for Balancing Design Efficiency with Reliable Estimation to Improve Clinical and Health Economic Decision-Making. He will develop new frequentist and Bayesian methods to improve the reliability of estimation in adaptive clinical trials while preserving their efficiency, so that the resulting evidence can better inform HTA, healthcare decision-making and policy development.

Being awarded the Fellowship is a fantastic achievement. 

Gianmarco said: 

I am delighted and grateful to receive this five-year fellowship from Wellcome, which marks an important step in developing my independent research programme. I look forward to working with researchers, healthcare decision-makers and patients to improve how evidence from adaptive clinical trials is generated, interpreted and used to inform healthcare decisions.

I am particularly grateful to my Group Leader and mentor, Pavel Mozgunov, and to all the collaborators and colleagues who supported me throughout the application process.
