The Mental Health & Neuroscience Clinical Trial Statistics Group is led by Professor Ben Carter and situated at the Denmark Hill Campus within the Institute of Psychology, Psychiatry & Neuroscience (IoPPN).

Our mission revolves around the meticulous methodological oversight of clinical trials in mental health and neuroscience. We have an unwavering commitment to the development of trial designs which possess the resilience to provide answers to pivotal clinical inquiries. We operate in close collaboration with clinical colleagues spanning King's Health Partners (KHP) and the broader UK clinical academic community.

We are dedicated to increasing capacity in clinical trial statisticians at the IoPPN while assuring robust clinical trial quality – a commitment firmly rooted in the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

The team is part of the King's Clinical Trials Unit (KCTU) collaboration. We adhere to relevant Standard Operating Procedures managed by the KCTU Quality Assurance team.
