Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Division

The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Division provides University of Maryland Baltimore investigators and trainees biostatistical collaboration and consultation service, and access to state-of-the-art statistical science, expert statistical analysis and sound statistical reporting in biomedical research. It plays a pivotal collaborative role in all phases of biomedical research from initial study design to final project report. For example, biostatisticians provide consultation and collaboration regarding the research design and statistical analysis plan, including the assessment of study feasibility, estimation of sample sizes to meet study objectives, and grant and manuscript preparation.
