Biostatistics
The Biostatistics Core includes experienced MS-level statisticians who conduct a wide range of analyses. Together with experienced biostats faculty (in the Division of General Internal Medicine), the Core brings expertise in clinical trial design, cluster-randomized studies, surveys, and epidemiologic studies; development and calculation of sample size and power estimates; and development and execution of statistical analysis plans. Our statisticians contribute significantly to developing and conducting analyses as well as interpreting and writing for publications and grant applications.
