>Biostatistics. Students learn about the applications of statistical 
>methods to biomedical research through coursework and hands-on 
>experience working with real data collected in major clinical 
>studies. Each of the three program sites has its own unique 
>features, but they all have a well-conceived, balanced agenda and an
