About

Toward the overall goal of providing methodologic support and education, the BIGDATA Methodologic Core has gathered a diverse team with expertise in biostatistics, bioinformatics, clinical informatics, statistical genetics, epidemiology, health economics, and cost effectiveness.  The breadth and depth of this team’s expertise, accessible through multiple venues, ranges over clinical trial and other types of study design, power calculations and sample size simulations, efficient database design, database management, analysis of large data sets including global gene expression, genome-wide genotype, next-generation sequencing (NGS), microbiome, and metagenome data, image analysis, biosensor data analysis (mobile health), observational study design and analytic approaches appropriate for observational studies (case-control matching, propensity score methods), cost effectiveness research,  and health informatics.
