Unlocking Better Health for Children
The Biostatistics Program at Nemours Children’s uses the power of statistics and data science to shed new light on childhood illness. We provide research insights that ultimately help children live healthier lives.
Staffed by four full-time biostatisticians, we collaborate with researchers within and outside of Nemours who seek to understand how conditions like obesity, asthma, cancer, diabetes and other health conditions that affect children.
Our team ensures innovative application of statistical, data science and machine learning approaches to track how health and growth outcomes change over time, recognize different subgroups, identify risk factors and predict the best interventions for disease. We uncover patterns that may lead to breakthrough treatments and preventive measures to improve health outcomes.
From study design to data processing to identifying results that matter, our team helps researchers find life-changing therapies for kids.
