Biometric Research Program

Green background with circles radiating and fading from the right. White text on the left states, “provides statistical and computational leadership for clinical trials, biostatistics, computational biology, and bioinformatics.”

The Biometric Research Program at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) provides biostatistics and computational and systems biology support for staff with the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) and NCI intramural investigators. This support includes:

  • Statistical leadership and oversight for NCI therapeutic and diagnostic trials and translational research;
  • Research in methods for the design, monitoring, and analysis of clinical trials and related studies;
  • Developing bioinformatic systems to analyze and interpret genome-wide data;
  • Conducting research on mechanisms of carcinogenesis and systems biology;
  • Collaborating with other NCI clinical trials staff to analyze genomic data;
  • Conducting self-initiated research on topics important to cancer research.
