Obioha Ukoumunne
Obioha Ukoumunne is a Senior Research Officer in Biostatistics. He has been a medical statistician since 1995 and has authored 47 peer-reviewed articles (eight as first author) and two book chapters. His experience spans general practice, public health, health services, psychiatry and paediatrics. His particular interest is in the design and analysis of cluster randomised trials for which he has developed a portfolio of methodological research. His systematic review of methods used in the design, conduct and analysis of cluster randomised trials for the UK National Health Services Research and Development Health Technology and Assessment Program led to two published papers and two book chapters. In 2000, he was awarded a UK Medical Research Council Special Training Fellowship to extend this review and develop new methods for sample size calculation and analysis of data from cluster randomised trials. His PhD, awarded in 2004, was based on this work.
Obi commenced his present role at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute in 2005. He has since collaborated on 3 cluster randomised trials and other studies as project statistician. He organises and teaches on short courses provided by the Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Unit. He has continued his methodological research on cluster randomised trials, has recently had a paper accepted for publication by Statistics in Medicine and been commissioned to write chapters for a book on cluster randomised trials targeted to health care researchers. His other interests include 1970s music, films and soccer (aka football).
