Biostatistics

Researchers propose a core protocol for conducting clinical trials during a disease outbreak.

Dr. Ira Longini and colleagues found that the Wuhan travel ban may have only delayed the epidemic’s spread by three to five days in mainland China.

Dengue elimination may soon be within reach in Yucatán, Mexico, if novel control methods are combined, according to a new UF study.

UF biostatisticians played an integral role in the design and analysis of trials testing the effectiveness of the vaccine.

They will be honored at a ceremony during the college’s alumni reunion on October 5.

Researchers in the department of biostatistics will develop innovative vaccine study designs so agencies can implement vaccine trials quickly and effectively.

The department of biostatistics hosted the International Indian Statistical Association’s annual meeting. This four day conference attracted 300 participants and was held May 17-20, 2018 at the HPNP Complex at the University of Florida.
