Abstract

Zelina Pose*

Biostatistics involves the application of statistical methods to biological and medical data. It plays a key role in designing studies, collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting the results in the context of biological and medical research. Biostatisticians work on designing clinical trials, observational studies, and experiments to ensure that the data collected is reliable and that the conclusions drawn are valid. They also develop and apply statistical methods to address specific issues in biology and medicine, such as analyzing the efficacy of new drugs, studying disease patterns, and evaluating the effectiveness of treatments.
