Medical Statistics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies how to collect and analyze data in medical research.
AboutAbout the lab
How should medical research data be collected and analyzed?
The lab works on medical statistics, an applied discipline that provides methodology for how to collect and analyze data in medical research, including basic research, clinical research, and epidemiology.
Its main research themes are the development and evaluation of designs for clinical and epidemiological studies, the development and evaluation of statistical methods for analyzing medical data, quality management of medical research, and the use of medical databases.
In Japan, the number of statisticians involved in medical research is extremely small compared with Europe and the United States, and the lab is introduced as one of the few places where one can study medical statistics.
The lab also holds a concurrent appointment with the Clinical Trial Data Center at Tohoku University Hospital, where it takes part in problems arising in practice from the perspectives of statistics and information management, and also carries out joint research.
