Biostatistics Research

Biostatistics is the science that applies statistical theory and mathematical principals to research in medicine, biology and environmental science. In healthcare, biostatisticians use mathematical and scientific methods to determine the cause of disease and injuries and to identify health trends within communities. These trends could include such things as the effectiveness of new drugs, effects of changes in healthcare delivery or outbreaks of disease in a population.
