BCC Members

The BCC consists of PhD-level faculty and Master’s level statisticians. Our faculty hold their own grants as PI, are leaders in professional organizations, include fellows of the American Statistical Association, and are internationally recognized biostatisticians. Our Master's level members, better known as Statistical Analysts, have several years of experience and are knowledgeable in numerous statistical software programs, including SAS, STATA, and R.
