AboutAbout the lab
Taking on health science challenges with the power of statistics
The Oba Lab builds on epidemiology and biostatistics to study methods for clinical research and clinical trials.
The lab develops methodologies to improve the quality of clinical research and lead to better decision-making, and carries out empirical studies using real data.
The research centers on the design and analysis of clinical and epidemiological studies, meta-analysis, and causal inference and analysis of real-world data.
True to the spirit of the Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies and the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies, the lab welcomes students who want to pursue research that combines informatics and biostatistics.
