Biostatistics:

 Faculty members in the Biostatistics Division have expertise in areas including  categorical, longitudinal, multivariate, survival, recurrent events, multiple outcomes and Bayesian biostatistical methods. They direct and are involved in various clinical trials and health related studies and develop innovative methods for efficient and informative data analysis via incorporating available scientific knowledge from the biological and clinical area of the application. Our experienced team of biostatistics faculty members are collaborators with basic scientists and health services and clinical researchers regarding the design, feasibility and scope of a study, the appropriate tools for data analysis, the correct methods of data collection and archiving, and the reporting and interpretation of the results of a study.  Their clinical areas of interest and fields of application include diverse clinical subjects as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, cardiovascular disease, AIDS, aging and Alzheimer’s disease, oral health, neurology and mental health.
