Perera, Rafael
Prof Rafael Perera
Professor of Medical Statistics, University of Oxford
I am the Director of Graduate Studies in the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences (NDPCHS), tasked with providing academic leadership, oversight, administration and advocacy for the department’s graduate students.
I am also the Director of the Statistics group (NDPCHS), and as part of this role, I am involved in multiple research activities within the department. However, my primary research interest is Monitoring for managing long-term conditions (e.g. Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, etc) individually or jointly (sometimes called multimorbidity).
I lead a large group of methodologists working across multiple clinical areas and have been PI of large Programmes of work and Theme lead for NIHR-funded infrastructure programmes (NIHR BRC, NIHR ARC, and NIHR MIC). I set up the NDPCHS fully accredited Clinical Trials Unit as its original Statistical Director.
