Overview

The Department of Statistics was established when the Institute was founded in 1956 to help fulfill the increasing demands for biostatisticians to undertake leadership roles in professions as researchers and educators in academia and medical research. The department's scientists and employees collaborate with one another and offer knowledge in the statistical techniques that serve as the basis for current biomedical research's use of evidence. Biostatisticians at the Institute work on intellectually promising projects aimed at enhancing human health, such as identifying the genetic causes of disease, recommending the right treatments for patients, or researching ways of reducing healthcare costs without sacrificing patient care.

Staff members pursue their own research agendas and take part in curriculum creation in addition to being active researchers who consult and collaborate on research projects and activities within the Institute. Linear, nonlinear, and longitudinal modelling, clinical trial and experimental design, systematic review and meta-analysis, survival analysis, categorical data analysis, causal inference, modelling of the TB and HIV diseases, data mining and machine learning algorithms, GIS-based spatial modelling, Bayesian methodology, and artificial intelligence are all areas of expertise in the department.

The department's goal is to advance the profession through training in methodological and applied research methods for students, collaborative interdisciplinary methodological research in the fields of public health and medicine, and support for academic, research, and professional committees.
