I then worked for 7 years at the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and became the primary statistician of the EORTC Lung Cancer Group, being therefore responsible for the statistical set-up, design, implementation, analyses and reporting of several Phase II and Phase III trials in lung cancer and mesothelioma patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within EORTC, I was also a member of the Treatment Outcome Research Group, the Elderly Task Force, and coordinator of the EORTC Independent Data Monitoring Committee. In parallel, I completed under the supervision of Prof. Paul Janssen and Prof. Luc Duchateau a PhD in 2005 at the Center for Statistics, Hasselt University, in the field of survival analysis (frailty models).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2007, I&rsquo;m professor of Statistics and Biostatistics at the UCLouvain (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) where I&rsquo;m attached to the Institute of Statistics, Biostatistics and Actuarial Sciences (<a href=\"https:\/\/uclouvain.be\/en\/research-institutes\/lidam\/isba\">ISBA<\/a>), one of the research centers of the Louvain Institute for Data Analysis and Modeling in economics and statistics (<a href=\"https:\/\/uclouvain.be\/en\/research-institutes\/lidam\">LIDAM<\/a>), and at the Louvain School of Statistics, Biostatistics and Actuarial Sciences (<a href=\"https:\/\/uclouvain.be\/fr\/facultes\/sc\/lsba\">LSBA<\/a>), which is part of the Faculty of Science (<a href=\"https:\/\/uclouvain.be\/fr\/facultes\/sc\">SC<\/a>).  From 2019 to 2022, I have been chairing the ISBA research center and since 2022 I have been elected President of the LIDAM Institute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My main interests<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Survival Data Analysis , and in particular frailty models and cure models<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Joint Models for Longitudinal and Survival Data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design and analysis of clinical trials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oncology data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fb510769-2479-45da-bb94-c9ec67434d4e\">Links<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.be\/citations?user=xyQwjrUAAAAJ&amp;hl=fr\">Google Scholar<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Catherine-Legrand-3\">Research Gate<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/be.linkedin.com\/in\/catherine-legrand-4471877\">Linkedin<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor of BiostatisticsInstitute of Statistics, Biostatistics and Actuarial Sciences (ISBA)Louvain Institute of Data Analysis and Modeling in economics and statistics (LIDAM) About me I obtained [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":2543,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/template-no-title.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/perso.uclouvain.be\/catherine.legrand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/perso.uclouvain.be\/catherine.legrand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/perso.uclouvain.be\/catherine.legrand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/perso.uclouvain.be\/catherine.legrand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/perso.uclouvain.be\/catherine.legrand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/perso.uclouvain.be\/catherine.legrand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2663,"href":"https:\/\/perso.uclouvain.be\/catherine.legrand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13\/revisions\/2663"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/perso.uclouvain.be\/catherine.legrand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/perso.uclouvain.be\/catherine.legrand\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
