Overview
One focus of our group is developing tools for the research community. Through this service, we collaborate with a wide variety of investigators and can provide advice and support for statistical analyses, including services related to questionnaire design, the analysis of clinical trial data, multi-‘omics’ data, biomarker development, analyzing clustered data, and power analyses. Key projects have involved the creation of a pipeline for the analysis of untargeted spectral features such as metabolomics data and the dissemination of script for analyzing high-dimensional biological data in large-scale longitudinal cohort studies.
