Mi Jun Keng

BHF CRE GRADUATE STUDENT IN CARDIOVASCULAR POPULATION HEALTH SCIENCES

Where Am I Now?

After her DPhil, Mi Jun joined Janssen Pharmaceuticals as a health economist. Her work spans different therapeutic areas, and primarily involves designing and developing health economic models and analytics to generate patient- and payer-relevant evidence to support development and launch of novel therapies

Project: BHF CRE GRADUATE STUDENT IN CARDOVASCULAR POPULATION HEALTH SCIENCES

Supervisors: Borislava Mihaylova, Jose Leal and Lousie Bowman

Biography:

My thesis is focused on developing a framework to model lifetime outcomes for people with diabetes using data from the ASCEND study, one of the largest trial in people with diabetes. The framework can be used to assess net benefit of treatment for people with diabetes, by bringing together evidence of benefits and harms associated with the treatment, and quantifying these in terms of impact on healthcare costs and patient’s quality of life.

The ASCEND trial provides an interesting case study and the developed framework will be used to assess the cost-effectiveness of aspirin use for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes, accounting for both cardiovascular benefits and bleeding risks associated with aspirin use, and possibly identify subgroup of people where aspirin use is cost-effective.

I chose this topic as it aligns with my interest in developing and applying analytical models for optimising resource use. The experience of working with large clinical trial data has also been extremely valuable. I hope to be able to further develop my skills and further my research in the area of disease modelling beyond my degree.
