Biostatistics Facility Core

摘要：生物统计学核心是罗切斯特环境健康科学中心的组成部分 (EHSC)。生物统计核心成员与EHSC研究人员密切合作，协助规划 环境健康研究和环境健康数据分析。生物统计核心成员活跃 EHSC的参与者定期参加EHSC每月的教职员工会议和研讨会，瑟斯顿博士 (生物统计核心主任)是EHSC内部咨询委员会成员。 生物统计核心有三个主要任务： (1)为EHSC研究人员提供研究所需的生物统计学支持； (2)与EHSC调查人员合作开发新的生物统计方法，以适应日益增长的 复杂的研究设计，包括涉及高维生物医学和暴露数据的研究设计； (3)为EHSC成员及其学员提供生物统计方法方面的培训，并在以下方面提供指导 这一领域将与职业发展计划结合起来提供给早期教师。 通过关注和执行这些任务，生物统计核心为翻译提供了支持 环境健康研究活动。例如，它促进了新的协作，促进了 新的方法，并促进长期的合作。通过这些努力，生物统计核心 为多个成功的拨款申请和许多生物统计核心合著的论文做出了贡献 成员和其他EHSC教职员工。因此，生物统计核心支持罗切斯特的总体目标 环境健康科学中心(EHSC)，旨在通过以下方式预防疾病和改善健康 推进创新和有影响力的翻译性环境健康研究，让社区参与到 解决环境健康问题，促进环境健康人才的职业发展 调查人员。

Abstract: The Biostatistics Core is an integral part of the Rochester Environmental Health Sciences Center (EHSC). Members of the Biostatistics Core work closely with EHSC researchers to assist in the planning of environmental health studies and analysis of environmental health data. Biostatistics Core members are active participants in the EHSC, regularly attend monthly EHSC faculty meetings and seminars, and Dr. Thurston (Biostatistics Core Director) is a member of the EHSC Internal Advisory Committee. The Biostatistics Core has three primary missions: (1) To provide EHSC investigators with the biostatistical support needed for their research; (2) To work with EHSC investigators in developing new biostatistical methodology appropriate for increasingly complex study designs, including those involving high-dimensional biomedical and exposure data; (3) To provide training in biostatistical methods for EHSC members and their trainees, and offer guidance in this area to early stage faculty in conjunction with the Career Development Program. By focusing on and pursuing these missions, the Biostatistics Core provides support for translational environmental health research activities. For instance, it facilitates new collaborations, fosters development of new methodologies, and promotes longstanding collaborations. Through these efforts, the Biostatistics Core has contributed to multiple successful grant submissions and numerous papers co-authored by Biostatistics Core members and other EHSC faculty. Thus, the Biostatistics Core supports the overarching goals of the Rochester Environmental Health Sciences Center (EHSC), which are to prevent disease and improve health by advancing innovative and impactful translational environmental health research, engaging communities to address environmental health issues, and enhancing career development of talented environmental health investigators.
