Carlo Berzuini, University of Manchester. Carlo has been Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Pavia (1983-2008), Italy, Research Project PI at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Cambridge (2009-2011), UK, and is currently holding the Chair in Biostatistics at the University of Manchester (2011-), UK. He has also worked at Cambridge's MRC Biostatistics Unit. He is responsible for important methodological developments in Bayesian inference, as a pioneer of particle-based Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for real time inference, and of the first (1996) practical method for a joint analysis of longitudinal and event history data. He also worked in Statistical Genetics, Neuroscience and Computational Biology, and is a leading expert in Causal Inference, with notable contributions in Causative Interaction, Mediation and Bayesian Mendelian Randomization. He counts about 130 peer-reviewed papers. He has participated with PI capacity in European Research Projects.
