About the Research Group
Mission
- Plans and conducts independent and cooperative research studies on cancer epidemiology, prevention, screening, and diagnosis using methods of mathematical and analytic statistics.
- Plans and conducts independent and collaborative studies in biostatistical and epidemiologic methodology and in mathematical modeling of processes relevant to cancer prevention activities.
- Provides consultation and advice on biostatistical methodology and study design to staff of the Division and investigators in other Divisions of NCI and outside.
- Provides expertise in statistics and biometry to program managers and scientific decision-makers within the NCI and outside.
