In this episode of "In the Interim...", Dr. Scott Berry interviews Dr. Kaspar Rufibach, Co-Head of Advanced Biostatistical Sciences at Merck.
Dr. Kaspar Rufibach, Co-lead of Advanced Biostatistical Sciences at the Merck Group, joins Dr. Scott Berry on "In the Interim…" to discuss the expanded role of statisticians in drug development.
Kaspar explains how statisticians contribute to decision frameworks, advocate for cross-functional collaboration, and apply assurance and predictive modeling for quantitative decision-making.
At Merck, efforts to merge statistics, pharmacology, and data science reflect a commitment to dismantling traditional silos. Kaspar emphasizes a methodology-agnostic approach by choosing Bayesian, frequentist, or AI tools as dictated by the problem.
The episode also unpacks current work in causal inference and multi-state models for clinical trials.
Listen for a direct look at statistical leadership in pharma.
