Abstract

Have you ever wondered about the life of Biostatistician in a company? Come and hear the special characteristics of Contract Research Organization (CRO), the role and responsibilities of lead biostatistician, various projects, and the external or internal groups that biostatisticians interact with. Biostatisticians play very important role in designing, managing, and analyzing Clinical Trial Data. Hopefully this will stir up the much-needed discussion between Industry and Academia in Biostatistics.
