专业概况

The Master of Science in Biostatistics program will train students in biostatistical methods for study design, data analysis, and statistical reporting for scientific and lay audiences. This degree will train students in key areas including data management, statistical reasoning, the interpretation of numeric data for scientific inference in studies in medicine and public health, and the ability to collaborate and communicate effectively with scientists and other public health stakeholders across disciplines. Graduates of the program are prepared to work as statisticians in a variety of professional environments including government, academic, healthcare, and industry. In addition, students receive training in preparation for quantitative doctoral programs in public health, such as biostatistics and epidemiology.

Students will have the opportunity to work with faculty on many public health problems. Examples include:

Problems of randomly timed biomarker measurements in Alzheimer’s disease cohort studies. Selection bias due to delayed entry to cohort studies. N-of-1 study design in Alzheimer’s disease. Mixed-methods (qualitative/quantitative) community-engaged research focused on rigorous measurement. Survey research for community-based interventions and health disparities research. Implementation, evaluation, and enhancement of the infrastructure of community-engaged research Resolution of high granularity measures of disease incidence and risk from person-generated data (social media, mobile tools, wearables, etc.) Statistical (spatiotemporal) and machine learning methods for incorporating unstructured data in population disease modeling Zero-inflated count models to understand the changes in count outcomes (e.g. substance use, smoking behaviors, sexual risk-taking) over time. Time diary methodology to understand the temporal associations between daily behaviors, perceptions, of individual health. Biological biomarkers of stress among young sexual minority men and the links between sexual minority stress and biological markers of stress.

Students are engaged in several active learning opportunities outside of their courses:

There is a journal club that meets bimonthly in which they select and present papers and lead discussion about the design and analytical issues in the papers. There are short-courses in computing and coding, such as in Stata and R. There is a consulting laboratory in which students are mentored in providing statistical consulting.
