公共卫生哲学博士-生物统计学

生物统计学涉及在医学，生物学和公共卫生等健康相关领域的科学研究中统计技术的开发和应用。从20世纪初开始，生物统计学领域一直是改善健康和减少疾病的量化核心。生物统计学家在设计研究和分析数据中起着不可或缺的作用，例如测试与艾滋病作斗争的新药，评估减少毒品和酒精成瘾的干预措施，确定心脏病的危险因素，调节环境危害以及保护食品安全。如今，生物统计学正成为信息学的骨干，用于处理以前所未有的规模生成的海量数据。<br> <br>博士学位。该计划为统计理论，生物统计学方法及其在包括流行病学，心理健康预防，环境健康，临床试
Biostatistics involves the development and application of statistical techniques to scientific research in health-related fields, including medicine, biology, and public health. From the beginning of the 20th century, the field of biostatistics has been at the quantitative core of efforts to improve health and reduce illness. Biostatisticians play indispensable roles in designing studies and analyzing data as diverse as the testing new drugs to combat AIDS, evaluating interventions to reduce drug and alcohol addiction, determining risk factors for heart diseases, regulating environmental hazards, and protecting food safety. Today biostatistics is becoming the backbone of informatics to process massive data that are generated on an unprecedented scale.<br><br>The Ph.D. program provides advanced training and research opportunities in statistical theory, biostatistical methods, and their applications in a wide spectrum of fields including epidemiology, mental health prevention, environmental health, clinical trials, and health services research. With a curriculum that is both interdisciplinary and adaptive to individual student needs and interests, the program prepares students for a career as a methodologists in academia, government, industries, and health care organizations.
