Biostatistics

生物统计核心基金的主要目标是提供统计分析合作， 支持莫菲特癌症中心和研究所的癌症研究人员。癌症研究人员 统计需求包括临床试验的研究/方案设计和数据分析， 流行病学、癌症预防和控制以及基础科学研究。技术支持（管理， 编制和分析数据）对于这一核心的顺利运作也至关重要。自从莫菲特 癌症中心是国家癌症研究所指定的癌症中心中患者累积的领先中心之一， 核心参与了大量的协议活动。来自核心的统计员在以下方面发挥着关键作用： 两个科学议定书审查委员会，每个委员会每月举行一次会议， 安全监管委员会刚刚成立。癌症预防和控制计划， 近年来，我们与之密切合作的公司已大大扩大。认识到一些合作 研究涉及专业知识，核心最近在以下领域增加了力量： 生物信息学、统计遗传学和行为科学。此外，我们的核心有助于 根据需要，通过开发和实施新的生物统计方法来预防和治疗癌症 被癌症研究人员发现。

The principal objective of the Biostatistics Core Facility is to provide statistical analytic collaboration and support to cancer researchers at the Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. Cancer researchers' statistical needs encompass research/protocol design and data analysis for clinical trials and for epidemiologic, cancer prevention and control, and basic science studies. Technical support (management, preparation, and analysis of data) is also critical to the smooth functioning of this core. Since the Moffitt Cancer Center is one of the leading centers for patient accruals among NCI-designated cancer centers, the Core is involved in a considerable volume of protocol activity. Statisticians from the Core play key roles in two scientific protocol review committees which each meet monthly and will also be members of a data and safety monitoring committee, which has just been formed. The Cancer Prevention and Control Program, with whom we work heavily, has greatly expanded in recent years. Recognizing that some collaborative research involves specialized expertise, the Core has recently added strength in the arenas of bioinformatics, statistical genetics, and behavioral science. In addition, our Core contributes to the prevention and cure of cancer by both developing and implementing new biostatistical methods as needed by cancer researchers.
