The University of Florida Department of Biostatistics is dedicated to training successful statistical scientists, performing cutting-edge theoretical and applied research and collaborating with investigators at UF and worldwide to further medical knowledge and address public health problems.
Our faculty members include leaders in the development of statistical methods for clinical trials, survival analysis, decision theory and genetic studies. Their mission is to provide scholarship in biostatistics and partnership in research for the six colleges of UF's Health Science Center, as well as the Clinical and Translational Science Institute, the Emerging Pathogens Institute, the UF Shands Cancer Center, the McKnight Brain Institute and other academic units across UF.
Widely published in academic journals and well-funded by numerous sponsors, such as the National Institutes of Health, the National Children’s Cancer Foundation and the Department of Veterans Affairs, biostatistics faculty members are performing critical scientific investigations that offer many opportunities for students in the department's M.S., M.P.H. and Ph.D. programs.
To complement its work and to serve the university's focus on medical research, the department’s Biostatistical Consulting Lab offers statistical support for graduate students and faculty investigators in the Health Science Center, the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center and other organizations at UF and in industry.
