Victoria joined the Cancer Research UK Clinical Trials Unit (CRCTU) after completing the MSc Medical Statistics at the University of Leicester and is now a senior statistician within the unit.  She is involved in the design, supervision, analysis and reporting of clinical trials in a variety of oncology and non-oncology clinical areas in both adult and paediatric populations.  She has experience in all phases of trial from first-in-human and dose finding trials to randomised phase III trials of investigational medicinal products, devices, and advanced and cellular therapies.

Victoria’s work focuses on early phase dose finding and proof of activity clinical trials, Bayesian methodology, and trials in rare diseases. She has a keen interest in improving efficiency in trials, mainly through adaptive designs, novel dose finding methods, and hierarchical and repeated measures analysis.

Moreover, Victoria is the deputy director of the MRC-NIHR UK Rare Disease Research Platform CAPTIVATE node for trials methodology in rare diseases. This challenge node is aiming to develop innovative clinical trial designs that enable the efficient evaluation of treatments for rare diseases with limited numbers of participants such that the designs and data are acceptable to patients and participants, regulators, and policy makers.
