Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Core - Montana INBRE

A Message from Carl Yeoman

Montana INBRE Bioinformatics & Biostatistics Core Director

“Biomedical research spans many disciplines and relies on incredible diversity in study designs, experimental and observational methods, and analyses. Given the complex systems under study and data collected, interdisciplinary collaboration throughout the research process is crucial to success.

Montana INBRE invests heavily in the infrastructure needed for statistical collaboration and facilitates a network of experts and resources to connect researchers to other bioinformatics consulting, computational, data visualization, and analysis needs. The importance of research design and analysis planning is emphasized, as well as integrity in data collection, management and interpretation.

Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Core Goals:

Maintain and support the Statistical Consulting and Research Services (SCRS) Bioinformatics Teaching, Research Lab and Systems Biology Computational Cluster
Offer tutorials, workshops and courses to promote the use of bioinformatics tools and expose students to bioinformatics and biostatistics
Engage in one-on-one biostatistical collaborations and bioinformatical technical support and mentoring
Collaborate with social science research laboratories to provide research resources to social and behavioral scientists
Promote collaborations with biostatisticians and bioinformaticians early in the research process due to the importance of research design and analysis planning
Promote data integrity and mindful use of statistical methods in practice
