Biostatistics & Statistical Programming Overview
-
Statistical Analysis & Design
CTDD Biostatisticians design, review and analyze preclinical, clinical, and epidemiologic trials for various disease settings and outcomes. CTDD Biostatisticians provide collaborative support throughout the trial life cycle, including concept development, statistical design, protocol development, analysis of clinical endpoints, manuscript preparation and correlative research studies.
-
Innovation
The CTDD Biostatisticians collaborate with investigators on innovative study design and analysis of clinical trials and correlative science studies. The biostatisticians determine the appropriate and feasible hypothesis testing strategies and endpoints for meeting protocol objectives while maintaining power and trial integrity. The Biostatisticians work with information technology, data management and statistical programmers to ensure all results are collected and reported appropriately.

Statistical Programming
The statistical programmers collaborate on standardized programming, data monitoring committee and regulatory reporting, and manuscript preparation. They assist in developing quality checks on incoming and outgoing data and prepare analyzable datasets for use by collaborators and external scientists. They also provide leadership in the preparation of summary reports and research results, including written explanations of methods and results, tabular and graphic displays of data, and documented computer code supporting repeatable research. They also collaborate in database design and project management.
