Natasha Karp is Director of Biostatistics at AstraZeneca with 13 years’ experience marrying hands-on meta-research with strategic team leadership to improve reproducibility and translatability in preclinical drug discovery. She leads a UK-based statistics team that optimises design and analysis for in vivo and in vitro studies, embedding expert risk analysis, enablement, and capability-building into an operating model that drives practical change. Her research output—96+ peer-reviewed papers and an h-index of 47—reflects a long-standing focus on implementable solutions, including leading the Sex Inclusive Research Framework to normalise studying both sexes. A former developer of the PhenStat R package and trainer across academia and industry, she blends software-enabled reproducible analysis with change management and partnership work with funders to nudge better research practices.
