Glen is a Senior Lecturer in Health Data Science at the Health e-Research Centre, University of Manchester. 

As a health data scientist, Glen undertakes multidisciplinary research at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, data science and clinical investigation. His research focuses on utilising routinely collected health data to improve healthcare by optimising the way in which predictive/ prognostic models are developed and used in clinical practice.

• 2010-2013: BSc Mathematics, Lancaster University

With an overarching goal of improving the way prognostic/ prediction models are used in routinely collected health data, Glen's research can be summarised into four pillars of research interests:

1) Understanding the mechanisms that drive and underpin observational data: this covers exploring why observational data are present (or missing) since the presence/absence of information might be informative of an individual’s health.

2) Optimising the ways in which risk models are developed. This focusses on statistical methods development to improve risk prediction modelling. Particular interests include multivariate (multi-outcome) risk prediction, penalisation methods and sample size.

3) Appropriate re-use of prediction models: how can we make better use of existing knowledge/ research in prognostic modelling? This includes both meta-analysis and validation studies

4) Apply existing and novel statistical methodologies into real-world clinical/applied investigations
