REU Site-Summer Research Program in Biostatistics

生物统计学夏季研究课程由威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校生物统计和医学信息学系提供。该项目将通过与系和威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的教师导师密切合作，为本科生提供在生物统计学和生物信息学领域探索职业生涯的机会。该系拥有一支国际公认的致力于本科生和研究生培养的研究人员，他们将指导个人研究项目。我们的目标是激发学生对生物统计学研究的兴趣，并为他们提供成功进入学士学位后课程的工具和技能。在数学方面有优势的学生参加统计计算、生物统计学和生物信息学的课程。一系列研讨会突出了利用生物统计解决生物和医学中的实际问题的研究领域的多样性，并使人们了解统计员在各种科学研究领域中的作用。此外，该计划还包括关于道德、职业选择和其他感兴趣的主题的研讨会。在暑期计划中，有各种各样的生物统计学和生物信息学研究活动，供6-8名学生使用。研究领域包括临床试验、流行病学、生物信息学、统计遗传学和实验室实验设计。在为期8周的课程结束时，学生向其他项目参与者和导师介绍他们在选定研究主题上的工作。

The Summer Research Program in Biostatistics is offered by the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The program will give undergraduate students the opportunity to explore a career in biostatistics and bioinformatics by working closely with faculty mentors in the Department and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The Department has an internationally recognized research faculty committed to undergraduate and graduate training, who will direct individual research projects. Our goals are to spark the students' interest in biostatistical research and provide them with the tools and skills to successfully gain admission to post-baccalaureate programs. Students with strength in mathematics participate in coursework in statistical computing, biostatistics, and bioinformatics. A seminar series highlights the diversity of research areas utilizing biostatistics to solve real problems in biological and medical science and provides an understanding of the role of the statistician in a variety of scientific research areas. In addition the program includes workshops on ethics, career choices and other topics of interest.. There are a wide variety of biostatistics and bioinformtaics research activities for 6-8 students in the summer program. Research areas include clinical trials, epidemiology, bioinformatics, statistical genetics and laboratory experimental design. At the end of the 8 week period the students present their work on a chosen research topic to other program participants and mentors.
