Division of Cancer Biostatistics
About the Division
The division is part of the department of internal medicine in the 91С»Æ³µ at the University of Kentucky, and the academic home of the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource (BB SR), at the Markey Cancer Center (MCC).
We provide centralized, cutting-edge and accessible expertise in biostatistics and bioinformatics to support all phases of cancer studies from study development, implementation, and post-study analyses.
