Section of Biostatistics

Biostatistics is the science of inferring knowledge from data in biomedical and related fields. Members of the section of biostatistics study the statistical theory, analytical tools, and applications of methods for the collection, analysis, presentation, and interpretation of biomedical data. We collaborate closely with other sections at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences in order to advance scientific knowledge.

Mission

The objectives of the Section of Biostatistics are to:

  • Serve as statistical advisors for researchers at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, helping inform the proper design, analysis, and interpretation of their studies.
  • Conduct original research on statistical theory and methods motivated by real problems in the design and analysis of biomedical studies, and to provide research opportunities for students.
  • Promote the proper use of rigorous quantitative methods in the biomedical sciences through education and outreach. This includes teaching statistics at the bachelors through PhD levels.
