Brice Maxime Hugues Ozenne is an Associate Professor in the Department of Public Health, Section of Biostatistics at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. He holds a shared position between the Section of Biostatistics at the University of Copenhagen and the Neurobiology Research Unit at Rigshospitalet. His work spans methodological research, software development for R, statistical consultations, and teaching. Dr. Ozenne's educational background includes: Ph.D. in Biostatistics from University Lyon 1, Lyon, France (2012-2015) with thesis on "Statistical modelling for the prognosis of stroke patients" Master's Degree in Biostatistics from University Lyon (2011-2012), completed as a double degree with École Centrale de Lyon Engineering Diploma from École Centrale de Lyon (2009-2012) Course in teaching and learning in higher education from UNIVERSITETPÆDAGOGIKUM (2022-2023) His primary research interests focus on statistical models for handling repeated measurements that arise in medical images, psychological questionnaires, and longitudinal studies. He specializes in developing Latent Variable Models and mixed models for neuro-imaging data, with particular attention to small sample size issues and multiple testing corrections. Additionally, he develops methods for assessing treatment effects in registry data, accounting for confounding, right-censoring, competing risks, and time-varying effects. His side projects include benefit-risk assessment using Generalized Pairwise Comparisons and planning/analyzing sequential trials with pipeline data. Dr. Ozenne's research output demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly in neuroscience, psychiatry, and clinical research. His work frequently addresses methodological challenges in neuroimaging studies, antidepressant treatment evaluation, and registry-based epidemiological research. Recent publications show a consistent focus on serotonin receptor binding, treatment effects in depression, and advanced statistical methodologies for complex data structures. His scientific contributions have garnered significant attention, with publications picked up by 55 news outlets, blogged by 3 sources, reddited by 1 user, and referenced across various social media platforms including X (Twitter) and Bluesky. As an educator, Dr. Ozenne teaches: Ph.D. courses: Statistical analysis of repeated measurements and clustered data; Epidemiological methods in medical research (as course leader); Basic statistics MSc courses: Survival analysis for students in Statistics and Mathematics-Economics He previously served as a Post-Doc in biostatistics (2015-2020) with a shared position between the University of Copenhagen (researcher and teacher at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences) and Copenhagen University Hospital (consultant and leader of the data analysis workpackage of the Neuropharm project). Dr. Ozenne's work is supported in part by a grant from Novo Nordisk A/S, which covers part of his salary during July 2025 - December 2026.
