Emphasis is on the promotion of quantitative methods to aid in the design, analysis, and interpretation of clinical, genomic,?and population based research studies. This includes analytic software development, novel applications, and secondary data analyses utilizing existing database resources. Specific areas covered by BMRD: High dimensional data methods such as those arising from genomic technologies, proteomics, sequencing, and imaging studies; development and a
