Quantitative Services
Quantitative Services is directed by Edward B. De Vol, PhD, MBA. Biostatistics Biostatisticians at BHCS are experienced in a range of biomedical investigations, including basic scientific, clinical/translational, and health services research. Statisticians provide support in experimental design (including power and sample size analyses), formulation of research hypotheses into quantitative terms, provision of randomization schedules and bias controlling logistics (eg, blinding), statistical analyses of data, and presentation and interpretation of results. They also offer their quantitative expertise in support of efforts to improve operational processes across BHCS. The Biostatistics group is led by Derek M. Blankenship, PhD.
