The primary research goal of the Department of Biostatistics is to develop new statistical methodology to address issues in public health and the biomedical sciences. Investigators might also apply existing methodologies to new application areas in innovative ways. Because of the dual focus on statistical methodology and its application in biomedical and health-related areas, virtually all faculty members in the department have research interests both in the development of statistical methodology and in the application of statistics in applied research. Applied research projects generally involve other faculty in the School of Public Health, investigators at the Medical School, or even scientists at outside institutes such as the Research Triangle Institute, the National Institute of Statistical Sciences or the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
