معرفی
Hein Putter is a Professor of Medical Statistics at the Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC), affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine. His research focuses on longitudinal data analysis, causal inference, and survival analysis, with applications in oncology and clinical research. He contributes to research groups such as Life Course and Cancer Pathogenesis and Therapy.
- Teaching Roles: Biomedical Sciences (BSc/MSc), Medicine (BSc), Clinical Technology (BSc), and Statistics & Data Science (MSc).
- Affiliations: LUMC, Leiden University.
Research Interests
Prof. Putter’s work emphasizes methodological advancements in statistical modeling, particularly in addressing selection bias in survival analysis and frailty models. He critiques the causal interpretation of hazard ratios and advocates for robust survival probability contrasts. His applied research includes evaluating clinical tools like the Adjuvant! Programme for breast cancer patients.
Publications
Recent work (2024) formalizes selection bias in hazard ratios using causal models, while earlier contributions (2010) honor pioneering biostatistician Hans van Houwelingen. His 2014 study critiques the applicability of prognostic models in older cancer populations.
Advising & Grants
No advisees or grant details explicitly stated in sources. However, his involvement in clinical and methodological research implies grant-funded projects in biostatistics and oncology.
Labs/Teams
Active in LUMC’s Cancer Pathogenesis and Therapy group and contributes to Innovation in Health Strategy and Quality of Care initiatives.
