Abstract:	Statistical thinking has played a major role in the process of evaluating new technologies and treatments for disease. The role of statistics and its impact on health research in both academia and industry will be described in this talk. In particular, examples of past experiences in research collaborations that have resulted in major implications for health and health policy---including the evaluation of mammography as a screen for breast cancer and the evaluation of new treatments for breast cancer and other diseases---will be discussed. The challenges for statistics in the 21st century as new technologies, such as genomics and proteomics, change the face of medical research also will be discussed.
