About the Division of Biostatistics
We are a tight knit entrepreneurial group of five faculty. We address important biomedical problems through deep collaborations with researchers at the University of Utah and beyond. We have deep connections with the Division of Epidemiology within the Department of Internal Medicine, the Division of Pediatric Critical Care within the Department of Pediatrics, the Huntsman Cancer Institute, the Veterans Administration, and Intermountain Healthcare.
Division faculty conduct methodological research that is motivated by the problems we encounter during our collaborations. We have an internationally diverse PhD student body, who receive training both in the classroom and through mentored collaboration. We are surrounded by large databases that can be used to address important scientific questions. For example,
· The Utah Population Database (UPBD) is the world’s largest resource for tracking diseases in families, with more than 11 million people in large, multigenerational pedigrees, linked to tens of millions of medically relevant records.
· The Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) contains data extracted from many of the institution’s disparate source systems, including patient, visit, clinical, operational, financial, and research data. It contains data on more than 2.5 million patients.
