Nicola Cooper PhD is a Professor of Healthcare Evaluation Research at the University of Leicester. Her primary research interest is the integration of statistical evidence synthesis with probabilistic economic decision modelling.

Sofia Dias PhD is a Professor of Health Technology Assessment at the University of York. She is a statistician with extensive experience of systematic review and meta-analysis. Her recent interests include using NMA evidence structures to estimate bias in RCTs, and developing methods for assessing inconsistency in NMAs. She is Director of the NIHR funded CRD/CHE Technology Assessment Reviews Group and a member of NICE Technology Appraisals committee D.

Alex Sutton PhD is a Professor in Medical Statistics at the University of Leicester. He has a long-standing interest in methods for evidence synthesis; particularly when used for decision making. His current research includes development of interactive visualisation tools.

Nicky Welton PhD is a Professor in Statistical and Health Economic Modelling at the University of Bristol where she leads the Multi-Parameter Evidence Synthesis research group. She is co-director of the NICE Guidelines Technical Support Unit in Bristol, co-director of the NIHR Bristol Technology Assessment Group, and was a member of a NICE Technology Appraisals committee from 2012-2023. Nicky has extensive experience of evidence synthesis with different types of outcomes, and has a particular interest in the role of evidence synthesis in decision modelling, identifying future research priorities, and study design.

Hugo Pedder PhD is a Senior Research Associate in Statistical Modelling at the University of Bristol. He is co-director of the NICE Guidelines Technical Support Unit, a member of the NIHR Bristol Technology Assessment Group, and sits on a NICE Technology Appraisal Committee. Hugo has experience implementing complex evidence synthesis techniques to a variety of different data types and has worked on developing methods for the incorporation of dose-response and time-course information into NMA.

David Phillippo PhD is a Research Fellow in Evidence Synthesis at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on methods for evidence synthesis, Bayesian network meta-analysis, population adjustment methods for indirect comparisons, and assessing the impact of bias in clinical guidelines and decision making, and is lead author of the NICE Decision Support Unit Technical Support Document on population-adjusted indirect comparisons. He is a member of the NIHR Bristol Technology Assessment Group, and he supports the development of NICE Clinical Guidelines through his involvement with the NICE Technical Support Unit.

Beatrice Downing PhD is a Senior Research Associate in Evidence Synthesis and Biostatistics at the University of Bristol and Scientific Coordinator with the NICE Guidelines Technical Support Unit in Bristol. Her research interests include using evidence synthesis of indirect sources to bridge knowledge gaps and in communicating uncertainty.
