EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This document summarizes the activities of the Division

of Biostatistics in the Institute for Health & Equity of the

Medical College of Wisconsin for 2017 and 2018.

The division supports the missions of the Medical College

of Wisconsin through its graduate and continuing medical

professional training in biostatistics; its support of funded

research projects bringing in over $140 million external funds

in 2017 and $169 million external funds in 2018 to MCW; its

prominence in the development of novel statistical methods

for biomedical data; and its biostatistical consulting service.

In 2017, we co-authored 73 papers including four papers in high

impact journals (New England for Journal of Medicine, Journal

of Clinical Oncology), helped investigators apply successfully

for 18 new grants worth $13.9 million, and collaborated on over 397 projects through the Biostatistics

Consulting Service. In 2018, we co-authored 160 papers including six papers in high impact journals,

(British Journal of Hematology, Lifetime Data Analysis, Statistics in Medicine, The American

Statistician), helped investigators apply successfully for 21 new grants worth $34.6 million, and

collaborated on 341 projects through the Biostatistics Consulting Service.

The division faculty has active research programs in various areas of biostatistics. The division is

recognized worldwide for its research in survival analysis. Other areas of investigation include statistical

genetics, Bayesian statistics, big data methods, design and analysis of clinical trials, and multiple

comparisons. The division faculty had 13 methodological papers in 2017 and 20 methodological papers

in 2018 that appeared in statistical literature either as an online publication or in print (See Appendix 1).

BIOSTATISTICS NEWS

Two new faculty joined the division in 2017:

Chien-Wei (Masaki) Lin completed his PhD in Biostatistics from the University

of Pittsburgh; he has expertise and research interests in bioinformatics and the analysis

of different types of -omics data.

Noorie Hyun joined us after completing a PhD in Biostatistics at the University of North

Carolina and a post-doctoral fellowship at the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and

Genetics at the National Cancer Institute. She has research interests in the analysis of

time-to-event data, complex probability sampling, and synthesis of information from

electronic health records to enhance statistical inference.

We also hired three new analysts, Kadam Patel, Xuerong (Joy) Liu, and Ruizhe (Rachel) Wu in 2018, and

said goodbye to one of our analysts, Ziyan Yin, who left to pursue a PhD in Biostatistics. Jennifer Ward

joined the division in early 2018 as a Research Program Coordinator II, after our prior Program

Coordinator Tiara Cargile left for another opportunity.

Several faculty members received grants as PIs to support their biostatistical methodologic research.

Drs. Ahn and Kim were awarded an Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin-Research and Education Program

grant in 2017, titled “Optimal conditioning regimen intensity for competing risks data in myelodysplastic

syndromes.” Dr. Kim also received Cancer Center pilot funding in 2017 for a project titled, “Variable

selection for the case cohort design with multiple diseases.” Dr. Banerjee received CTSI Pilot funding in

2018 as the PI of a project titled, "Ensemble learning integrated with cancer survivor intervention," and

also received an R21 grant from the NCI in 2018 entitled, "Bayesian learning algorithms for identifying

and classifying heterogeneity of cell types in variety of solid tumors."

Four PhD students successfully defended their dissertations, Michael Martens and Yushu Shi in 2017 and

Bonifride Tuyishimire and Natasha Sahr in 2018,

Several of our division faculty members were involved in notable high impact publications.

2017

• Drs. Zhang, Banerjee, and Logan in the Journal of Clinical Oncology

• Dr. Wang in the New England Journal of Medicine

2018

• Dr. Fraser in the Journal of Clinical Oncology

• Dr. Szabo in JAMA Oncology

In Fall 2017, we organized and hosted a National Conference titled, “Biostatistics in the Modern

Computing Era.” It was extremely successful, drawing 125 attendees to attend talks in areas including

high-dimensional analysis, precision medicine, genomic data analysis, Bayesian modeling and clinical

trials. At the end of the conference, Dr. Sparapani co-led an all-day workshop on Bayesian Additive

Regression Trees (BART) for 45 attendees.

BIOSTATISTICS CONSULTING SERVICE

The Biostatistics Consulting Service (BCS) provides statistical support to investigators at the Medical College, its affiliates

and the general public. The services provided include assistance with study design, data management, statistical analysis,

interpretation of study results and assistance in grant preparation. This pre-arranged assistance is available through the BCS

on a recharge basis or through pre-arranged contracts with Departments or Centers as described previously.

The BCS collaborated on 397 (2017) and 341 (2018) projects, totaling 738 projects and 9,401 hours with Biostatistics Faculty

and Analysts collaborating time. Following is a breakdown of projects per MCW department or other affiliation.

The BCS provides drop-in consulting hours per week, similar to “faculty office hours” where staff biostatisticians designate

weekly hours specifically available to investigators for free statistical consultations. To learn more, view the Biostatistics

Consulting Service website.
