Today I had the pleasure to attend the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics meeting (pictured below). I learned about the studies each person is working on and how they keep many open projects simultaneously moving forward. Did you know they get, on average, a new request each day? Yup, about 300 requests a year! The research spans many clinical topics from transplantation to Ob/GYN to orthopedics. And what they offer spans from simple consultations (such as a sample size calculations) to the development of an entire database to bioinformatic use of electronic medical records for research. I also learned how they work closely with many of our Georgetown University colleagues (including hosting a GU masters student as an intern in bioinformatics).
Thanks team, for sharing with me!
It was a great pleasure to welcome Dr. Weissman to our weekly meeting. It was very informal, informative and fun. I can say on behalf of my department that we very much appreciate Dr. Weissman's time and commitment to learn more about us and our day-to-day activities.
