The Core

Department of Medicine Statistics Core (DOMStat) 

DOMStat is organized into four specialized research units, each focused on distinct areas of research, and members are classified into two primary area of expertise: Data Scientist and Biostatistician/Bioinformatician.  DOMStat’s statisticians bring extensive experience across a diverse range of medical research areas, including anesthesiology, cardiology, infectious disease, oncology, neurology, pediatrics, public health, and more. We are particularly skilled in handling complex datasets, such as high-throughput omics data, clinical trial data, electronic health records, and large-scale health services data. This broad expertise ensures rigorous and insightful statistical analyses, supporting researchers in a wide range of studies.

Innovation in Statistical Approaches

In addition to providing expert statistical support, DOMStat is committed to developing innovative statistical methodologies tailored to specific research needs. Our team works continuously to advance the field of statistics, ensuring that our partners have access to the latest and most effective tools for their research.
