In this video series, Professor Christoph Correll presents "Applied biostatistics". Professor Christoph Correll explains the basics of biostatistics, the different designs and hypothesis testing, how power, effect size and sample size are calculated and how to analyze the data.

The explosion of knowledge of the gut microbiome, occasioned by the developing high throughput measurement of the genetic signatures of the myriad of different gut bacteria, may be the most significant advance in human biology since the cracking of the genetic code. As well as offering remarkable new treatments for…

In this four-part series, we explore how earlier detection of brain disorders could improve patient care. Part 1 in this series introduces the concept of prodromal and preclinical disease—a state in which patients have markers of a disease but few or no symptoms. Part 2 focuses on efforts to identify…

Brain imaging has advanced massively in the past two decades. Modern tools such as positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Magnetoencephalography (MEG) allow us a much clearer view of how the brain works: we can almost literally “look inside the skull”. This series of articles introduces the…
