Biography

I am a Biostatistician working at the the German Multiple Sclerosis Registry in Hannover, Germany. I have finished my doctorate program with a focus on risk-based monitoring and central statistical monitoring in clinical trials. Specifically my research focused on the risk assessment procedure and the identification of atypical center using statistical measures that eventually helps in improving data quality.

The aim of this blog is to help myself and others enrich our knowledge in R programming, Statistics and Shiny. In my free time I write posts covering the mentioned topics.
