Paul Dickman
About me
I am Professor of Biostatistics at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (MEB) at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, where I’ve been employed since March 1999. I am deputy head of department, head of the MEB Biostatistics group, and programme director for the Master's programme in biostatistics and data science.
Research
My primary research interests are developing and applying statistical methods for population-based studies of cancer patient survival, particularly the estimation and modeling of relative/net survival. I also have general interests in epidemiology, particularly cancer epidemiology.
Teaching
I am programme director for the Master's programme in biostatistics and data science as well as course director and course teacher for courses within the programme.
