Biostatistics

Biostatistics, also known as medical statistics, is central to the development and practice of modern medicine. Indeed, without biostatistical principles for the conduct of clinical trials and epidemiological studies, the pharmaceutical industry would not exist. Biostatistics has driven a great of novel statistical methodology over the past three decades, and top universities around the world have whole departments devoted to biostatistics. This is an area of critical skills shortage in Australia, and the School of Mathematical Sciences has one of the few strong biostatistical groups in this country.
