| It is critical for the non-clinical statistician in the pharmaceutical industry to communicate effectively with scientists. They need to possess the ability to transform scientific questions into statistical hypotheses and models. The most appropriate statistical methods need to be utilized in order to answer those scientific questions. This means the tool bag of the non-clinical statistician needs to contain a broad range of statistical methods. This course will provide an opportunity for both new and experienced statisticians to enhance their statistical tools and improve their consulting skills. Since communication is the most important asset of a non-clinical statistician, the course begins by discussing the consulting aspect of the statistician in drug discovery. The class then proceeds to discuss the scientific questions, statistical hypotheses and the statistical methodologies used in the following areas: high-throughput screening, lead-finding animal experiments, drug safety, pharmaceutical sciences, chemometrics and genomics. In each area, the role of the consulting statistician will be emphasized. Prerequisite: The prerequisite knowledge for an attendee is a good understanding of linear models and multivariate methods. Definitions for scientific terms will be provided. | ||
