Biography
Rebecca completed a BSc in Mathematics at the University of Leeds in 2012, followed by an MSc in Medical Statistics at the University of Leicester, which was part of an NIHR Research Methods fellowship she held at Keele. After the completion of her fellowship in 2015, Rebecca began her PhD at Keele on a part time basis, investigating the impact of measurement error in prediction models. The remainder of Rebecca's time is spent providing statistical support for projects within the Research Institute, with a particular focus on the use of large data from electronic health records.
