The Annual Conference of the International Society of Clinical Biostatistics (ISCB) is a mainstay in the ViCBiostat calendar and this year six of our members travelled to Thessaloniki (Greece) where they presented on their latest research.

On Monday morning, Chris Selman presented his work on cumulative logistic regression models and Rob Mahar gave a presentation on the use of Bayesian priors. On Tuesday, Myra McGuinness gave a presentation on quantifying between-study heterogeneity in one-stage meta-analysis, and Rheanna Mainzer presented the findings of her scoping review of reporting of missing data. On Wednesday, Jessica Xu presented her work on handling missing data in sequential multiple assignment randomised controlled trials.

Rheanna also gave a presentation as part of the Early Career Biostatistician Day, and Katherine Lee gave a presentation on the work of the Missing Data Topic Group as part of her role in the international STRengthening Analytical Thinking for Observational Studies (STRATOS) initiative on the Thursday morning.

ViCBiostat was proud to support Rheanna, Jessica and Rob to attend as part of our professional development support scheme. The team did an excellent job in presenting and networking on behalf of ViCBiostat. You can view their abstracts in more details in the conference programme here.
