Mission statement

The Biostatistics department at MD Anderson:

• 增强MD安德森研究通过优秀统计设计和方法，包括正确的和有效的使用标准和前沿方法的科学成就，以及新颖的188bet体育网址创新方法的发展
• 提供生物统计合作，协商和定量研究资源，临床诊断，实验室，人口和预防科学家，并在规划啮合，行为，分析，质量保证和研究报告的解释188bet体育网址
• 通过创新和相关的课程，并通过暴露于独特的数据集，最新的研究方法和成果，以及国家的最先进的计算技术火车和导师下一代的生物统计学家188bet体育网址

目标

• To provide biostatistical leadership in the institution and the larger cancer research community regarding the proper and innovative design and analysis of clinical, diagnostic, laboratory, population, and prevention studies
• To develop innovative clinical trial designs that most efficiently utilize the available information from a trial, protect patients within the trial from excessive toxicity or ineffective treatments, and provide patients with the best possible treatment within a particular trial. These include Bayesian monitoring strategies, improved dose-finding strategies, adaptive randomization, and improved screening designs.
• To develop innovative methods for analyzing data resulting from collaborative cancer research studies, including standard outcomes such as survival, response, symptoms, and quality of life measures, as well as complex data from emerging technologies, including high-dimensional genomics data and imaging data. Methods for data mining, adaptive learning, and integrating information across multiple platforms in the context of personalized medicine are currently being developed.
• To ensure that MD Anderson studies are properly designed to reach their intended goals, that they are sufficiently powered, and that the design and analyses appropriately control and adjust for confounding factors
• 为了提供临床试验，包括诊断，治疗，平移和预防研究生物统计协作支持。这种支持包括设计，临时监测，归根结底，报告和协同主要研究者和合作研究者研究结果的正确解释。
• 为了提供MD安德森调查研究优秀统计分析，包括以高效的方式正确使用的标准和先进的方法来最大限度地提高电源的发现，同时适当控188bet体育网址制I型错误和虚假的发现
• To develop and participate in inter-institutional graduate academic programs in biostatistics
• To provide educational programs in biostatistical literacy and principles for non-quantitative research scientists and clinicians
