Introducing
Dr Sifat Sharmin
Hello, I’m Sifat, a Biostatistician and Research Stream Leader (Multiple Sclerosis) in the Clinical Outcomes Research (CORe) Unit.
Dr Sifat Sharmin
Biostatistician & Research Fellow (Multiple Sclerosis)
PhD (Biostatistics), MSc & BSc (Honours) in Applied Statistics
a little bit about me
I am a biostatistician with experience in the analysis of large-scale data, including longitudinal survey and administrative data and modelling of count and longitudinal time-to-event data.
My current research interest is the application and extension of complex statistical methods to understand the clinical dynamics of multiple sclerosis (MS) and compare treatment outcomes in MS patients.
I have taught biostatistics and epidemiology to graduate students at The Australian National University and The University of Melbourne.
