Mollie Payne is Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London. She is based in the Department of Psychology where she combines two roles: statistician and advisor for the Research Support Service.

As an Research Support Service advisor, she supports prospective applicants to NIHR fellowship schemes. As a statistician, she is the trial statistician on the REFUEL-MS trial, where her work focuses on understanding and measuring engagement in clinical trials.

Mollie previously held pre-doctoral and doctoral research fellowships in the Department of Biostatistics and Health Informatics, within the Trials Methodology Research Group.

Her doctoral research examined dose-response methodology in complex interventions, with a particular focus on psychotherapeutic interventions for psychosis. Her thesis proposed a novel statistical method for analysing dose-response using non-adherence data, and explored how dose-optimisation designs could be applied in complex interventions.
