IDWSDS 2025 - S311: Career Insights from Women in Statistics at MRC-BSU, University of Cambridge

Sponsored by: Medical Research Council Biostatistics Unit - University of Cambridge What helped you to thrive in your environment? We pose this question to four female biostatistical researchers at the MRC-Biostatistics Unit, University of Cambridge: Sofía Villar, Anne Presanis, Hélène Ruffieux, and Elena Vigorito. These panelists, representing diverse career phases and areas of application within a leading academic biostatistics setting, have been invited to this session for their lived experience navigating and excelling within this demanding environment. Through a panel discussion chaired by Mia Tackney, we will hear from these researchers about how they have defined and achieved a "thriving" level in their careers. The discussion will cover practical topics including navigating the grant application process, building collaborations, effectively supervising students and early-career researchers, contributing to the research community and maintaining a crucial balance between work and personal responsibilities. This session aims to share invaluable insights and actionable strategies for success, fostering a supportive environment for women navigating their careers in statistics. We hope attendees will gain practical advice on how to leverage community support and identify what more is needed to thrive in their own unique statistical and data science environments.
