Description
The Division of Biostatistics in the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine is an academic unit with expertise in the areas of biostatistics, bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling. Members of the division are engaged in research in a wide variety of substantive and methodologic areas.
In addition to performing their own research, members of the division serve as a resource to the University community in the following ways:
-
Participating as collaborators in research projects with other investigators, generally contributing biostatistical or methodologic expertise to the projects.
-
Teaching biostatistics and epidemiologic methods to medical students, graduate students and researchers on campus.
-
Providing short-term statistical consultations.
-
Coordinating the campus-wide "Statistical Interest Group", a campus-wide group which organizes seminars and consolidates resources of use to statisticians.
Some specific areas of expertise include longitudinal data analysis, design of experiments, modeling of infectious diseases, analysis of data from studies with drop-outs, misclassification, proxy reliability and validity, recurrent count data, and interim analyses of clinical trials.
