We have expertise in design and analysis of clinical trials, behavioral interventions, cohort studies, and biomarker studies, including such areas as longitudinal models, “big data” and high dimensional analyses, image analysis, and survey statistics
Biostatistics and Bioinformatics offers two graduate degrees: a Master of Science and a PhD. Undergraduate students also have the opportunity to specialize in Biostatistics as a Public Health major.
The admission application for Fall 2021 will be accepted from October 7, 2020 to January 6, 2021 for both the MS and the PhD.
We are excited to have Dr. Florin Vaida taking on the role of Graduate Programs Director and Dr. Lin Liu as MS Program Director effective October 1, 2020.
The fellowship is a 12-month appointment with supervising professor, Steve Edland, PhD.
Our research interests include clinical trials methods, survival analysis, prognostic modeling, longitudinal data analysis, imaging, statistical genetics, semi-parametric and non-parametric statistics, computational statistics, Bayesian statistics, machine learning, and computational biology.
