How to collect and read data in medical research
The Biostatistics Lab studies statistical methodology for medical research.
Biostatistics is a field that provides methods for how to collect data (study design) and how to analyze it (statistical analysis) in medical research.
The lab also conducts research and education in epidemiology, which examines health- and disease-related events in populations in order to support prevention.
At the undergraduate level, the lab is in charge of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and students writing graduation theses also belong to it.
