Biostatistics Core

The CVI Biostatistics Core is part of the Penn Biomedical Informatics Consortium, a dynamic partnership between:

Penn Cardiovascular Institute (CVI)
Leonard Davis Institute (LDI)
Pathology
Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute

The core is designed to…

Help CVI investigators identify an appropriate informatics group.
For collection and management of high quality research data, investigators may choose between:
Clinical Research Computing Unit (CRCU)
Biomedical Informatics Facility (BMIF)

Connect CVI investigators with biostatisticians who can help analyze their data.
Core statisticians have a broad range of expertise in the development and application of innovative study designs and data analysis, including statistical genetics, clinical trials, observational studies, and translational research.
