Improving the Healthcare System With One Step At a Time
Overview
The Department of Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics is vital in advancing medical research and improving patient care.
Clinical epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of disease in human populations. It combines knowledge from various disciplines, including epidemiology, biostatistics, medicine, and public health, to understand disease causes, prevention, and management. By conducting observational studies and clinical trials, our epidemiologists contribute to identifying risk factors, evaluating diagnostic tests, and assessing therapeutic interventions.
Biostatistics, on the other hand, involves the application of statistical principles and methods to the design, analysis, and interpretation of biomedical data. Our biostatisticians collaborate with multiple clinical domains across the medical field, providing expertise in study design, data management, statistical modeling, and result interpretation. Their contributions ensure that research findings are statistically sound and can be translated into evidence-based clinical practice.

Key Focus Areas
Some of the key areas of focus in our department include:
- Clinical Research Design & methodology:
- Biostatistics:
- Healthcare Al: We conceptualize, develop and validate AI / ML models to predict disease diagnosis, progression, treatment outcomes, and potential complications, aiding in personalized patient care.
- Health services & Operations research: Our work also evaluates healthcare delivery systems, resource allocation, and quality of care to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services.
- Education and training: We offer educational programs and training opportunities for students, residents, and healthcare professionals, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to apply epidemiological principles in clinical practice and research.
- Our department is committed to fostering a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment where researchers, clinicians, and students can work together to advance the field of clinical epidemiology and ultimately improve the health and well-being of our community.
- We invite you all to explore our department's research activities, educational offerings, and opportunities for collaboration.
- Together, we can significantly impact clinical practice and patient care. Read More
