The study of biomathematics and biostatistics is intended to increase learning of the biological, medical and behavioral aspects of human beings by developing and applying statistical and mathematical models in close collaboration with biomedical researchers. The mission of the Program in Biomathematics and Biostatistics is to train researchers who will contribute to biomedical research by developing new methods for the design and analysis of research studies and by formulating mathematical models of biologic systems, thereby contributing to our understanding of cancer biology and disease processes.
