Biostatistics

The Biostatistics Unit of IDIBELL offers statistical consulting services to researchers at the IDIBELL campus, as well as to other public and private entities. Services provided range from study planning to data analysis and assistance with interpretation of the results. The department works in an integrated manner with the HUB Pharmacology Department and the UICEC platform, where it also provides support and advice regarding clinical trials within the unit. The department also offers seminars and training courses.

Our mission is to provide professional statistical analysis services to clinical researchers. Our goal is to collaborate with teams in the whole research process. Not just to serve as a resource that tackles a complex analysis.
