Biostatistics Shared Resource

Educational Support

Free Consulting

The BSR offers free statistical and bioinformatics consultation services to Lombardi researchers every Monday from 1 pm to 2 pm by appointment. BSR areas of expertise include: animal studies, basic science, cancer control, clinical trials, databases, bioinformatics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epidemiology, mathematical modeling, genomics, and metabolomics.

  • Please contact the department at dbbb@georgetown.edu or 202-687-4114 for further information.

Lectures

We also provide lectures given by BSR members in several courses in the Tumor Biology graduate program: TBIO 560: Animal Models of Cancer, and TBIO 543: Clinical Survey of Human Cancer.

  • If you need a lecture for your course, or a one-time lecture for your research group or lab, please contact Minnie An at 202-687-4114, or ma554@georgetown.edu.

Journal Clubs

Members of our Shared Resource routinely participate in the two weekly journal clubs (Oncology and Hematology) for clinical investigators where biostatisticians give a yearly presentation. Weekly participation often involves explaining and giving a critique of the biostatistical methods used in published medical articles.

Fellows Lectures

We present two lectures yearly on planning clinical trials for the Fellows Lecture series, as well as lectures hematology-oncology fellows on early stage clinical trials design and analysis.

Workshops

We offer occasional workshops involving hands-on demonstration of bioinformatics tools, either organized by the BBSR or presented by BBSR members. Additionally, we participate in workshop presentations for new faculty on BBSR services and capabilities.

Formal Courses

If you would like a more formal course, we offer service courses in biostatistics.

  • BIST 501: Introductory Biostatistics
  • BIST 502: Applied Biostatistics
