The Statistical Working Party

The STATs WP was established to help design the LAB WP studies and analyse the data arising from them. The group also pursues systematic reviews of studies on Aspergillus PCR and explores issues related to the validity and utility of these tests.

Rosemary Barnes is Clinical Reader in Medical Microbiology and acting head of the Department of Infection, Immunity and Biochemistry at the School of Medicine at Cardiff University.

She qualified from Cambridge University and Westminster Medical School.

Her research interests include infections in immunocompromised patients. A particular focus is the rapid diagnosis of invasive fungal infection and the impacts this has on the optimal use of antifungal agent and patient outcomes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Prof Juergen Loeffler, PhD” title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”grey” style=”dotted”][vc_single_image image=”193″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self”][vc_column_text]

Dr. Loeffler is the head of the molecular biology laboratory of the Department of Internal Medicine.

For over 10 years, research in the group of Dr. Loeffler is targeted towards immune recognition of A. fumigatus, genetic susceptibility to these fungi and molecular diagnosis of invasive fungal infections.

In addition, research is focused on identification, infection biology and immune recognition of cytomegalovirus and characterization of immune reconstitution after stem cell transplantation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Prof Carlo Mengoli, MD” title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”grey” style=”dotted”][vc_single_image image=”209″ border_color=”grey” img_link_target=”_self”][vc_column_text]

Starting in the 1988 Prof. Mengoli has taught at the School of Medicine and actually he his teaching to Medical students the following courses: Infectious disease, Epidemiology of Infectious diseases and General aspects of antimicrobial therapy. He is teaching also to Fellows attending several schools at School of Medicine of Padua University (Microbiology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Urology, Pharmacology, Internal Medicine, Dermatology programs) The scientific activity has been focused on microbiology, infectious diseases and immunology and has produced 71 peer reviewed papers on international journals. In recent years he was very active on the field of evidence-based medicine with meta-analytic applications to infectious diseases. Actual main interest is focused in statistical evaluation of evidence in Infectious Diseases and Microbiology.
