Faculty

The UC San Diego interdepartmental Biostatistics doctoral program comprises faculty from biostatistics, mathematical statistics and computer sciences. The participating faculty from the Teaching Division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics carry out a wide range of methodological and collaborative research. Faculty research interests include clinical trials methods, survival analysis, prognostic modeling, longitudinal data analysis, imaging, statistical genetics, semi-parametric and nonparametric statistics, computational statistics, Bayesian statistics, machine learning and computational biology. Large collaborative projects in which division faculty play key roles include Moores Cancer Center, Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study, Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, HIV Neurobehavioral Research Program, Clinical & Translational Research Institute, the Institute for Metabolomic Medicine, the Center for Wireless and Population Health Systems, the VA and many others.

The faculty members of the statistics group in the Department of Mathematics carry out research in probability, statistics and computational biology. The specific research areas include nonparametric estimation, semi-parametric models, time series, bootstrap methods, stochastic processes, survival analysis, measurement error, bioinformatics and image processing.

The faculty members from computer science departments are experts in machine learning and algorithm development.
