The Biostatistics Program hosts a monthly seminar to discuss topics related to biostatistics and computational biology as well as topics from related departments, such as population science and cancer biology. Speakers come from both inside and outside the DF/HCC community.
The seminars are held at 3 Blackfan Circle, Eleventh Floor, Rm 11081 at 12:30pm.
Light refreshments will be available. Click the link above for the most updated schedule.
The Biostatistics Program hosts an annual lunch to discuss topics related to biostatistics and computational biology as well as topics from related departments, such as population science and cancer biology. The purpose of the workshop is to bring program members together to learn about emerging areas in cancer research with substantial statistical content and encourage new collaborations. Speakers come from both inside and outside the DF/HCC community.
- 2004 Speaker Allan Coates waits as Dr. Richard Gelber introduces him.
This lecture highlights important new developments in cancer or closely related research that involve substantial statistical or computational work. The talk is less technical in nature than a specialized seminar, and it is intended for the general research community at DFCI and the Harvard Medical Campus.
