Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core

The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core provides statistical collaboration and data management support for each of the Mayo Clinic Ovarian Cancer SPORE research projects, the Developmental Research Program, the Career Enhancement Program and other SPORE cores.

The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core provides SPORE investigators with:

• Access to statistical expertise that includes collaborative development of study designs and analysis plans.
• State-of-the-art data analysis and interpretation.
• Data management resources.
• Abstract and manuscript preparation.

Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core members continuously improve existing database infrastructure to support the activities of SPORE investigators. The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core complements and assists the efforts of the Biospecimens and Patient Registry Core and the Animal Models Core by providing superior data management and experience with biospecimen registries.

Through these collaborative activities, the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core helps ensure that research in the Ovarian Cancer SPORE is carried out in an efficient, effective and rigorous manner.
