Research Interests
Felix Achana is an Associate Professor of Health Technology Assessment at the University of Warwick Medical School. He holds a joint position with the University of Oxford where he is a senior researcher in health economics at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. His research interests span the interface between medical statistics and health technology assessment (HTA) with a focus on generating quantitative insights in support of the HTA process, including but not limited to the analysis of complex datasets, mixed treatment comparison meta-analysis, survival analysis, and cost-effectiveness modelling.
