Landray serves as co-chief investigator of the RECOVERY Trial into treatment drugs for COVID-19 (the largest such clinical trial in the world) alongside Peter Horby.[2][3][4] In June 2020, the trial discovered the first known life-saving COVID-19 drug, Dexamethasone.[5][6][7] The trial was first to find negative results for Hydroxychloroquine[8] and Lopinavir/ritonavir.[9] The trial continues to study Azithromycin, Tocilizumab, Convalescent plasma and REGN-COV2.[10]

Landray has previously helped analyse data for the UK Biobank on over half a million people,[11] been one of the leaders of CTTI’s mobile clinical trial project[12] and has driven work in 2013 to create new FDA guidelines for clinical trials.[13]
