Faculty members in the Division of Biostatistics are actively engaged in research. The areas of research include: Survival Analysis; Clinical Trials; Methods for the Analysis of Screening and Diagnostic Tests; Misclassification; Methods for the Analysis of Observational Data; Statistical Methods in Epidemiology; Statistical Genomics; Statistical Genetics; Likelihood and Information Theory; Mixture Models; Order Statistics and Spacings; Resampling Techniques; High-dimensional Data Analysis; Algorithms for missing data analysis; Cluster Analysis; Statistical Methods for Analysis of Large Datasets in genomics and molecular biology; DNA microarrays; Flow Cytometry.
Collaborative Research
The members of the Biostatistics group have played integral roles in cancer research at NYU through the NYU Cancer Institute Biostatistics Shared Resource, in environmental health research through the NIEHS Center Biostatistics Core Facility, and in clinical research through the GCRC (General Clinical Research Center) Biostatistics Core. Through these Core groups, collaboration is provided to basic science, clinical, cancer epidemiology, prevention and translational research programs, and to the core research services. The faculty continues to expand their roles in new directions.
The members of the Biostatistics group provide statistical expertise in research study design, conduct, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of results for laboratory studies, clinical trials, and observational studies. The resources of these Core groups are available to members and include collaboration in the development of new research initiatives for grant funding, collaboration in funded peer-reviewed cancer research projects, and short-term collaborations in research projects.
In the Cancer Institute, Biostatistics group members participate in the development of all NYU initiated clinical protocols and review all clinical protocols prior to submission to the Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee. In the GCRC, group members review all protocols submitted to the GCRC and provide collaboration in protocol development for projects that are requesting GCRC resources.
