Biostatistics Core
The Biostatistics Facility Core provides statistical and data management services to EHSC faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students. Emphasis is placed on proper study design prior to experimentation. Faculty within this Facility Core have developed long-standing relationships with researchers for the continued analysis of data coming from populations under study, experiments with animal models of disease and human subjects, toxicokinetic questions in humans, and basic mechanistic questions in molecular toxicology. The experience of Biostatistics faculty in the field of statistical analysis of environmental studies allows the application of innovative statistical methodology to the design and analysis of laboratory experiments and clinical studies.
