Bioinformatics / Biostatistics Unit

Background

The mission of the Bioinformatics / Biostatistics Unit is to conduct collaborative research and to provide consultation and quantitative research resources to all the IRB Barcelona research groups.

We assist scientists by providing both short and long term consulting in the following areas:

• Experimental design: sample size, study design, planning of statistical methodology
• Data analysis: clinical or biomedical databases, genomics data
• Assistance with statistical methodology in own or others’ research
• Software: help in using software, develop software to meet special data analysis or study design needs

We commit ourselves to conducting methodological research and developing resources in any of the above-mentioned areas.
