His activities at Berry Consultants encompass many types of advanced Bayesian trials, ranging from Goldilocks designs to platform trials such as the Healey ALS platform trial; and trial design work ranging from constructing disease progression models to harnessing historical data in order to borrow information dynamically, or to power trials. He has a good intuition for designing complex models through his attention to precise details and enjoys solving computational challenges through efficient custom coding. He has had the opportunity to participate in regulatory interactions, in particular with the FDA and its CID program.
