Peter Diggle - Research Portal | Lancaster University

Professor Peter Diggle's research concerns the development and application of statistical methods relevant to the biomedical and health sciences. Current methodological themes include: geostatistical analysis; spatial and spatio-temporal point processes; joint modelling of repeated measurement and time-to-event outcomes in longitudinal studies. Current areas of application include: real-time disease surveillance; environmental exposure measurement; tropical disease prevalence mapping; early diagnosis of primary renal disease; short-term forecasting of meningitis epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa.

In addition to his substantive post in the Division of Medicine, Prof Diggle is an Adjunct Professor of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, a trustee for the Biometrika Trust, a member of the Advisory Board for the journal Biostatistics and a member of the Medical Research Council’s Population and Systems Medicine Research Board.
