Upcoming Events

A PSI ToxSIG webinar - Big Data, Data Science, AI and other buzzwords: What does the Data-Driven Hype mean for Pharmaceutical Analytics?

The last 15 years has seen a massive shift in the role of data and analytics, driven by the increased hype around big data, data science, machine learning and AI. This presents both challenges and opportunities for analytic teams. This webinar will strip back the hype to look at what these buzzwords really mean, and talk about the impact this is having on the role, remit and operating model of analytic teams in the life sciences industry.

PSI New Starters Half-Day Networking Event

An opportunity to meet statisticians from across the pharmaceutical industry in a relaxed and informal setting. An exciting program of events and a chance to work in small groups on a data analysis challenge. Lunch provided.

A PSI Training Course - Practical Approaches to Designing Adaptive Clinical Trials

This hands-on course will provide a deep dive into 4 software packages used to design adaptive clinical trials. The course will start by providing a general overview of adaptive designs, explaining the different type of adaptations possible and the benefits of each design. Following this, participants will be given the opportunity to have a go at designing trials in R (using RPACTS), EAST, FACTS, and nQuery.

PSI Training Course - Bayesian Practical Course using R and SAS

This practical training course will give a deep dive into performing Bayesian analyses in R and SAS. It is aimed at statisticians who need to be able to conduct Bayesian analyses as part of their day to day work. By the end of the course participants will be able to conduct their own analyses.

Medical Statistics Careers Event 2020

Our annual PSI Medical Statistics Careers Event, will be held at the De Montfort University in Leicester on Wednesday 4th March 2020.

A PSI Training Course - R for SAS Users

This course is aimed at Statisticians and Programmers experienced in SAS, but little or no experience with R. An Introduction to R studio and the R language, statistical graphics, programming statistical models, simulations and more…

Introduction To Industry Training Course 2020

The ITIT course will take 25 delegates new to the industry on a complete drug development experience from discovery to marketing. They will visit 6 companies from October 2020 to July 2021 to learn about 6 topics from experts in their field. The ITIT course will have 6 sessions in continental Europe and 3 - 4 sessions in the UK. It promises to be a truly memorable course.

Special Interest Groups

AIMS

The Application and Implementation of Methodologies in Statistics (AIMS)

Benefit-Risk

The Benefit-Risk SIG was set up at the start of 2012 to help support those involved in this fast evolving area.

Biomarkers

The PSI / EFSPI Biomarkers Special Interest Group has been formed with the aim of developing knowledge and opinions within the statisticians about biomarker usage and the related statistical and study design techniques that are involved.

Data Transparency

Sharing experiences and challenges of external patient level data sharing with particular focus on data privacy and anonymization processes.

Decision Making

The Quantitative Decision-making Special Interest Group (QDM SIG) was formed in October 2017. It is a group of statisticians from industry and academia, with experience and interests in statistical methods for quantitative decision-making in drug development.

Historical Data

What is the state of the art regarding approaches to incorporate historical data into the formal design and analysis of clinical trials, Which statistical methods should we use to make historical and current data comparable, What are the regulatory requirements necessary for the acceptance of historical data in drug approval?

HTA

The purpose of the Healthcare Technology Assessment SIG is to provide statisticians working in the Pharmaceutical Industry engaged in Health Technology Assessments, and others in related fields of research...

New Starters

A special interest group to facilitate networking amongst ‘new starters’ (statisticians and programmers) working in medical research - the pharmaceutical industry, Contract Research Organisations and Clinical Trial Units. The group will organise between one and three events per year to achieve this. Networking will be facilitated through three types of event – symposia, development and social.

Subgroup Analysis

Subgroup analysis is routinely conducted in drug development, in various settings; one key aspect is the regulatory requirement to demonstrate consistency of treatment effect across a pre-defined set of subgroups (e.g., ICHE5, E9, E17).

Toxicology

To provide a forum to discuss the statistical issues involved in Regulatory and Investigative Toxicology.

Vaccines

Creating a professional platform for statisticians in the Pharmaceutical industry, Regulatory agencies and Public Health organizations working on the research and development of vaccines to understand how best to apply methodologies.
