Keynote Speakers

Hein Putter

Hein Putter is Professor of Medical Statistics at the Department of Biomedical Data Sciences of the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). He began his academic journey with a PhD in Mathematical Statistics at Leiden University, and before joining LUMC in 2000, he held postdoctoral positions at the University of Amsterdam, Free University Amsterdam, and Cambridge University. His research focuses on statistical methods for complex survival data, including multi-state models, competing risks and frailty models, as well as on methods for dynamic prediction in clinical research.

Keynote Talk: Time-related biases and methodological pitfalls in survival studies

Ingrid Van Keilegom
