About UPenn Biostatistics Working Papers

Welcome to the University of Pennsylvania Biostatistics Working Papers site. The papers available under this site include a selection of recent research conducted by our Penn Biostatistics faculty. Formed in 1997, the Division of Biostatistics in the Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology within the Penn School of Medicine has grown to its current size of 25 faculty, with expected further expansion. In addition to conducting methodological research, the Penn Biostatistics faculty plays a crucial role in the collaborative research process, from design of the research plan through analysis and publication of study results. Both our methodological and collaborative research efforts are primarily funded through grants from the National Institute of Heath and private industries. The Division also holds several training grants from NIH to prepare our next generation of biostatisticians. Further information about the department may be found at www.cceb.upenn.edu.
