Biography
Dr Jones joined the department as a Research Associate in 2009, and became a Senior Lecturer in 2019. She has a PhD in Biostatistics (MRC Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge), MPhil in Statistical Science (University of Cambridge) and BSc in Mathematics with Linguistics (University of York).
Research interests
I am interested in methods for evidence synthesis, including meta-analysis, particularly within a Bayesian statistical framework. I have a particular interest in diagnostic test evaluation. Specific interests include methods for meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy, estimation of the prevalence of problem drug use, and accounting for sources of bias in meta-analysis of randomised trials.
