Professor Robert Ware

Professor Robert Ware is a biostatistician and clinical epidemiologist. Robert has more than 20-years experience working as an academic biostatistician. He has extensive experience working with clinical colleagues on both randomised trials and cohort studies. His research expertise centres on the design and analysis of longitudinal studies, with a methodological focus on developing statistical methods to deal with the impact attrition, missing data and non-compliance have on effect estimators. As a consequence of his research program and his collaborative work with clinicians, he has developed an extensive theoretical and practical knowledge of the design, conduct and analysis of both observational and experimental studies. 

Robert has recently been appointed at Wesley Research institute as the Director of Clinical and Academic Research Collaborative, where he is a key member of the ADVANTAGE Partnership. This initiative is aimed at enhancing clinical research and academic integration between Griffith University and Wesley Research Institute across the medical, nursing and allied health disciplines against the backdrop of the UnitingCare Health hospitals. As part of his role at WRI, Robert applies advanced statistical modelling techniques to address complex research problems in both investigator led projects at WRI, as well as studies within the Clinical Trials Centre.
