DIVISION OF BIOSTATISTICS DIVISION OF EPIDEMIOLOGY DIVISION OF HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH

The Division of Biostatistics

The Division of Biostatistics is the primary unit in the School of Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University that provides statistical collaboration, training, and consulting. The division members maintain active methodology research in biostatistics and broad interdisciplinary research through collaborations with other investigators.

Biostatistical research topics include Bayesian analysis, categorical data analysis, complex sampling, clinical trial design, spatial-temporal modeling, statistical computing, statistical genetics and survival analysis.

The division contributes significantly to education and training programs such as the Oregon MPH Epidemiology/Biostatistics program, the Human Investigators Program, the Summer Research Training Institute for American Indian and Alaska Native Health Professionals, and the Native Researchers’ Cancer Control Training Program.

Our mission

The mission of the Division of Biostatistics are to improve the health of the public by incorporating Biostatistics into public health, clinical medicine and basic sciences by:

•  providing biostatistics leadership and expertise in interdisciplinary research;
•  educating students in theory, methods, and applications in Biostatistics;
•  advancing statistical methodology in biomedical research, and;
•  training a board range of biomedical researchers in biostatistical concepts and applications.
