Given the diversity of scientific expertise and research within the Tisch Cancer Institute (TCI), the Biostatistics team provides support to a substantial number of projects, encompassing a broad research spectrum. With this in mind, the principal objective of Biostatistics team is to ensure availability of biostatisticians with expertise in diverse types of cancer as well as a comprehensive coverage of statistical methodologies.
Specifically, the four aims of the Biostatistics team are to:
- Establish a scientific and administrative structure that supports investigators from a broad background and creates a collegial environment
- Provide high-quality consultation in research design and biostatistical analysis
- Train laboratory and clinical investigators in the quantitative aspects of research
- Support development of innovative statistical methods and promote application of novel analytical methods to collaborative projects.
