Biostatistics is the application of the science of statistics to a wide range of problems in biology and medicine. The Biostatistics Core provides statistical support for Kaiser Permanente Northern California research scientists both within and external to the Division of Research. Faculty also conduct independent research on statistical methods. Core faculty have expertise in study design, protocol and proposal development and review, data analysis, and the publication of results.
