Mr Philip McLoone
- Honorary Research Fellow (School of Health & Wellbeing)
Biography
I am a statistician with epidemiological expertise. My current research interests include the use of radiotherapy in oncology. I am involved with the Radiotherapy Research Group at Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre in developing and appraising radiotherapy interventions and new methods of delivering treatment.
I have previously worked on cardiovascular epidemiology, cancer epidemiology and socio-economic variations in health and the use of health services in Scotland.
