Many of our excellent non-clinical researchers have been recruited after postgraduate tuition at Southampton at Masters level. Members of the MRC LEC staff run the modules on epidemiological methods (Dr Sarah Crozier, Ms Georgia Ntani and Professor Hazel Inskip) and statistical genetics (Dr Sheila Barton) that are part of the MSc Statistics with Applications in Medicine at the University of Southampton, and, annually, unit statisticians supervise students for their MSc dissertations. Similarly, unit nutritionists having joined us following a MSc, and many go on to complete PhDs.
