Biological, medical, and health data present numerous challenges such as the prevalence of censored and missing observations, widespread use correlated longitudinal data structures, and large scale multiple testing for screening purposes, to name a few. Our faculty are advancing knowledge of biostatistics on multiple fronts including:

• Generalized survival and longitudinal analysis
• Functional image analysis in medicine and neuroscience
• Statistical approaches to integration of mass spectral and genomics data
• Clinical trials and survival analysis
• Statistical modeling in ecology
