CTU Director Janet Darbyshire honoured by the Royal Statistical Society and the Society for Clinical Trials
Professor Janet Darbyshire is to
receive Honorary Fellowships of the Royal Statistical Society and
the Society for Clinical Trials.
The honour from the Royal Statistical Society
is in recognition of her "use, interpretation and presentation of
statistics in the world of clinical trials, particularly in the
treatment of tuberculosis and the prevention and treatment of HIV,
and also for the emphasis she has given to the need for clear
statistical thinking for a problem and the importance of having
statisticians involved in all projects".
The Honorary Fellowship of the Society for
Clinical Trials is awarded to “members who have made significant
contributions to the advancement of clinical trials and who have
the admiration of an entire generation of peers.”
Janet has received three prestigious awards this year, as she
was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for
services to Clinical Science in the recent New Years Honours
list.
Janet will be retiring from her role as Director of the MRC
Clinical Trials Unit at the end of March, and will be succeeded by
Professor Mahesh (Max) Parmar.
