Negera Wakgari Deresa
I am passionate about using statistics and data science to address real-world challenges. My primary interest lies in developing and applying novel statistical methods to get reliable insights from complex data and support meaningful decision-making. Currently, I am working on indirect treatment comparisons and treatment switching analysis in the context of clinical trials, in collaboration with MSD (Merck) Pharmaceutical Company.
