A Spotlight on Our Scientific Community

Yannis-Jemiai-Header-V1.2

At the end of every year, scientists from across Cytel’s business units are nominated for Cytel’s Spotlight Awards, which highlight significant contributions to biostatistics, innovative design, comparative effectiveness research, and real-world evidence. Every year, we are inspired to see our researchers living up to the ideals of scientific rigor and analytical excellence which enables us to live up to our ethos of making human impact. This year we chose to honor 8 younger scientists whose collective output spans contributions to complex designs, Bayesian methods, dose-finding models, and modeling the economic burden of disease.

There are many others whose contributions were also excellent, and I am saddened that we could not recognize every nominee. Still, I am excited by the enthusiasm they bring to our collective work. Our global community of nearly 300 scientists consistently publishes in Tier 1 journals; present their findings at research conferences across North America, Europe and Asia; and find meaningful ways to extend the discourse, even in pandemic years.

Congratulations to all and thank you for helping us push boundaries, together!
