Roes is a biostatistician with extensive experience in statistical applications, research and education. He is a noted expert in the field of clinical studies, methodology and quality of clinical research. His research mainly concentrates on innovative designs and the analysis of clinical research for rare disorders, a focus that fits well with the more individual patient-oriented treatment.
Radboud university medical center
At Radboud university medical center, Prof. Roes and his team will further expand the contribution of biostatistics to research. The combination of innovative designs for (clinical) research and the increasing possibilities offered by prediction and modelling offer the opportunity to evaluate new treatments and techniques more efficiently and thus bring them to the patient more quickly.
Educating students about statistics and biostatistics is extremely important to a number of programmes. Roes will participate in that effort by focusing on the innovations that are taking place in that field, including design and the increasing availability of large data sets.
