1、Biostatistics Shared Resource Office Hours!,Yale Cancer Center offers biostatistics and bioinformatics support to all members/projects through the Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR), which is led by Dr. Shuangge (Steven) Ma. Dr. Ma has over ten years of experience conducting cancer biostatistical r
2、esearch, including serving as co-director of the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core of the Yale SPORE in Skin Cancer, and is also the senior genetic statistician for the VA CT Healthcare System. YCC members are eligible to receive up to 16 hours per year of service at no cost. As funding agencies
3、 and journals continue to place increasing emphasis on proper analytics, it is critical to involve statisticians early on and in all stages of your study. Whenever you have a new project or idea, Dr. Ma urges you to contact him (shuangge.mayale.edu) and he will introduce you to the appropriate facul
4、ty or staff at the BSR so that you can take advantage of their expertise and your YCC member benefit.The BSR is happy to re-announce its drop-in consultation service. Dr. Wei Wei, an experienced statistician with special expertise in clinical trial design and analysis and general analytics, provides
5、 on-site biostatistics support. Drs. Yong Kong and Ying Zhu, both with extensive experience in the analysis of genetic, genomic, proteomic, and epigenetic data, provide bioinformatics support.Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR) Drop-In Office Hours - WWW213Biostatistics Dr. Wei Wei Thursdays - 9am-1
