Biostatistics

Using statistical tools, biostatisticians help answer urgent research questions in medicine, biology and public health, such as the effectiveness of a new drug, the causes of cancer and other diseases, and how long a person with a certain disease survives.

It is a branch of statistics that processes data relating to living organisms and gives meaning to all data. It is a way of defining what a biostatistician does. Or "Transform data into knowledge".
Using statistical tools, biostatisticians help answer urgent research questions in medicine, biology and public health, such as the effectiveness of a new drug, the causes of cancer and other diseases, and the how long a person with a certain disease survives.

Biostatisticians use their quantitative skills to team up with experts in other fields, from biologists and cancer specialists to surgeons and geneticists. But these are not simple calculators. They play a central role in designing studies to ensure that enough data and the right kind of information is collected. Then they analyze, evaluate and interpret the results - taking into account variables, biases and missing data along the way. Essentially, the goal of biostatistics is to unravel the data received and make valid inferences that can be used to solve public health problems. Biostatistics uses the application of statistical methods to conduct research in the fields of biology, public health and medicine.
