Biostatistics
Overview
The Biostatistics Core provides consulting services to develop data and analysis design plans for proposal submission as well as analyze data already collected. Our consultants have a range of expertise in design and analysis methods and tools, including tree modeling, causal inference, genetic/genomic data analysis, method design and power analysis.
In addition to consultative services, the Biostatistics Core also encourages the development of collaborative research agreements between investigators and our team of biostatisticians. These collaborations allow us to contribute more substantially to translational research inquiries and the development of novel methodologies, data management plans and analyses.
