Epidemiology

Our core services include biostatistics consultations, study design, and extraction and analysis of EHR data for research projects and grants. If you are interested in a consultation, please complete this form (https://redcap.link/LKSOMStatisticalConsultation) and we will be in touch with you.

Clinical epidemiologists experienced in quantitative approaches to etiologic, prevention and treatment studies provide insights that span the translational continuum regardless of disease focus.  

Addressing the complexities of the application of screening and treatment recommendations to individualized patients is the focus of the relatively new field of physician/patient decision-making.  

The burgeoning genetic data newly available through methods such as genome-wide association studies and next-generation sequencing data demand the skills of specially-trained epidemiologists. The use of this genetic information with applications to risk assessment and pharmaco-genetics plays a major role in the future of personalized medicine. The Center for Biostatistics and Epidemiology genetic epidemiologists provide the study design and analytical resources needed by TUSM investigators who are studying complex traits associated with risk of cancer and metabolic disorders.
