Research and Outreach

The Biostatistics Division is currently involved in a wide variety of ongoing research efforts throughout the university, including at the School of Public Health and the School of Medicine. Our underlying philosophy of biostatistical scholarship is to develop methods based on sound statistical practice that will address important questions in the health sciences. This requires an active collaboration with substantive areas of research, and many of these substantive areas are described in connection with the key areas of methodological development by faculty and students.
