Department of Quantitative Methods: Epidemiology and Biostatistics in Newark,
builds on existing strengths within the department and, collaboratively, builds
on existing links with neighboring institutions. The M.S.P.B. program offers an
opportunity for training in biostatistics to students in northern New Jersey
and New York City. The intellectual aim is to produce thoroughly
trained biostatisticians capable
of applying the range of statistical analyses that are relevant to research and
development in the field of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, students in this
degree program will graduate equipped with basic knowledge of the regulatory
context within which pharmaceutical R&D occurs, so that they will be
prepared to perform statistical planning and consulting more effectively within
the real-world constraints faced by the pharmaceutical industry and other
organizations involved in drug development.
