CORE--BIOSTATISTICS/INFORMATICS

生物统计学/信息学核心将为拟议中的口腔癌中心提供实验设计、数据收集、分析和统计方面的支持。所有程序和核心都将使用这些服务。核心的目的是：a)管理数据收集和数据库集成与链接；B)就质量控制问题提供咨询；C)对数据进行统计分析；D)准备数据摘要，协助研究者准备稿件；3)支持新的实验和临床设计的统计方面。将通过与匹兹堡大学癌症研究所生物统计设施和数据中心相关人员的努力提供支持。十多年来，本中心的生物统计学家与本中心的研究人员合作，支持了许多口腔癌的临床和基础研究项目。生物统计学支持将由Roger Day理学博士指导。，数据资源的提供将由UPCI信息学主任Henry Lowe医学博士指导。将这两个与数据相关的组件统一到具有dr的单个核心中。作为共同领导，Daly和Lowe将促进口腔癌中心数据处理、处理和分析的各个方面的密切协调。

The Biostatistics/Informatics Core will provide support in experimental design, data collection and analysis and statistics to the proposed Oral Cancer Center. ll programs and cores will use these services The aims of the Core will be: a) to manage data collection and databases integration and linking; b) to provide consultations on issues of quality control; c) to perform statistical analyses of data; d) to prepare data summaries and aid investigators in manuscript preparation; 3) to support the statistical aspects of new experimental and clinical design. Support will be provided through the efforts of personnel associated with the Biostatistics Facility and Data Center of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. Over a period of more than a decade, biostatisticians in this Core have supported many projects of clinical and basic research in oral cancer, in collaboration with investigators of this Center application. Biostatistical support will be directed by Roger Day, Sc.D., and the provision of data resources will be guided by Henry Lowe, MD, Director of Informatics for the UPCI. The unification of these two data-related components of supported into a single Core with Drs. Daly and Lowe as co-leaders will foster close coordination of all aspects of data handling, processing, and analysis at the Oral Cancer Center.
