With growing interest in big data, predictive analytics and efforts to promote scientific reproducibility, there are increasing opportunities for biostatisticians to engage in biomedical and public health research. Our PhD program in Biostatistics is offered jointly with the Department of Statistics and unites more than 20 biostatisticians from both units to provide students with more program options, wider research opportunities and an enhanced curriculum.
