Loved working with Abby on this project (inspired by a CCASAnet analysis I worked on with Peter Rebeiro, PhD, MHS when I was still at Vanderbilt Department of Biostatistics)!

The work of biostaticians: They collect and analyze data that supports medical researchers. Biostatistics-informed research project design keeps costs down and influences grant decisions. How this role has grown here, and ways it's helped patients: spr.ly/6016bdxAp

There are several researchers from our department (including PhD students) here!

Today at the The Festival of Genomics & Biodata: how to build world-class datasets through genomic initiatives, w/ Brad Malin (of Vanderbilt University Medical Center and an AllofUsResearch committee co-chair) + Vasiliki N Rahimzadeh, PhD (of BCM Ethics & Policy BCMHouston and a GA4GH #REWS contributor) + our very own Angela Herring Page. #FOGBoston 🧬
