Biostatistics Shared Resource

The Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR) has the unwavering mission of providing comprehensive and state-of-the-art biostatistical support for study design and study execution, as well as data analysis and interpretation for laboratory, translational, clinical and population science investigations.

BSR faculty and staff biostatisticians and informaticians collaborate with investigators on grant and protocol development, data management, statistical analysis, and manuscript preparation. They also contribute to institutional scientific review and ethics committees and offer expertise in innovative study designs, reproducible workflows, and quantitative research methodologies.

Our steadfast support at all stages of the translational pipeline ensures that even the most complex data are gathered, analyzed and presented in the most appropriate and meaningful manner. In partnership with the Information Services and the Clinical Trials Administration, BSR advises on electronic data capture, data management, and randomization for clinical research. Members of the BSR continue to develop new and innovative statistical approaches to improve the design, analysis and interpretation of challenging data, including clinical trial designs for precision medicine, predictive modeling using AI, analysis of high dimensional genomic or imaging data, and integrated analysis of multi-omics data.
