Simon Crouch is a Senior Research Fellow in Biostatistics at the University of York's Health Sciences department. With a strong mathematical background from Cambridge and Warwick, he leads the analytics team within the Epidemiology and Cancer Statistics Group and works closely with the Haematological Malignancy Research Network (HMRN) and Cardiovascular Health team. His work focuses on statistical modeling of complex epidemiological data related to hematological malignancies.

Dr. Crouch specializes in the statistical modeling of complex epidemiological data, with particular focus on hematological malignancies. His research encompasses predictive modeling, event history analysis, and machine learning applications in cancer epidemiology. He has made significant contributions to understanding myelodysplastic syndromes, lymphoma classification, and survival analysis in blood cancers through population-based studies. His work often involves collaboration with international registries including the European Myelodysplastic Syndromes Registry (EUMDS) and the Haematological Malignancy Research Network.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), with particular attention to risk stratification, survival analysis, and treatment outcomes. His work increasingly incorporates genomic and molecular data to refine disease classification and prediction models. The trend shows progression from purely statistical methodology development toward integrated translational research that combines clinical, genomic, and epidemiological data to improve patient outcomes.
- Extensive publication record with 113 research outputs including 66 articles, 21 patents, and numerous meeting abstracts
- Active participation in major international research consortia including MDS-RIGHT and ImmunAID
- Significant contributions to the development of statistical methodologies for cancer epidemiology
Dr. Crouch actively supervises PhD students in mathematical and statistical modeling applied to cancer epidemiology, with particular interest in time-to-event models, complex longitudinal models, and simulation techniques. His research has been supported through multiple projects, including the European Myelodysplastic Syndromes Registry and the MDS-RIGHT project focused on facilitating informed decision-making in hemato-oncology. He contributes to the Advanced Health and Social Statistics module for postgraduate students at the University of York.
