that is generated in the biological stream. It may largely relate to public health or life sciences. Simply speaking biostatistics means applying statistics in the progress and utilization of restorative drugs in humans and animals. A large amount of data is gen -erated in the life sciences sector and this data could be generated from the study of various treatments or research activities undertaken. The role of biosta -tistics is to unravel large amounts of data generated through treatment methodologies or research. Bio -statistics goes on to draw compelling deductions from available data about the respondents from whom they were acquired. For example; studying the

Further, it also relates to studying and dis -playing complex algorithms in the form of data with an objective to develop a statistically accurate mathematical theory. Without doubt, biostatistics is a core component that fosters progress of knowl -edge in biology, public health policy, clinical medicine, health economics and other related streams.

happens to be political science wherein statistical means were employed to collect data pertaining to governmental functioning and population assess -ment. It was introduced as a tool to measure and record the number of people living in a particular area, their economical status, mortality rates etc. Whereas the second source of statistics was derived from the theory of probability prompted by the wide spread interest of people in games of chance. The study of astronomy also contributed widely to the development of statistics on the whole as individual interpretation of facts had to be amalgamated into relevant theories. However, biostatistics came into the picture when a Belgian astronomer during the course of his work merged statistical theory with practical methods and applied them to dilemma
Galton is considered as the father of biostatistics as he successfully applied statistics to analyze biologi -cal variation. His idea was to throw light on genetic fundamentals through the said procedure. Though he remained unsuccessful in his attempt, the tactic he applied emerged as the cornerstone in applying statistics to biology.

In the present day, biostatistics has become a staple of biological journals, publications and research ac -tivities. This can be attributed to the fact that the relationship of biologic studies and response vari -ables did not apply to the earlier model where bio -statistics was excluded. Most biological occurrences
which were irrepressible in variation and mostly un -recognizable. It was then understood that biostatis -tics were very much required to evaluate the varia -tions, identify evaluation errors and to establish the authenticity of minor but critical disparities. It is also believed that if discrepancies that rise in result of an experiment cannot be ascertained on close exam -ination then, it would be apt to employ bio-statistical analysis to identify these discrepancies.
The role of biostatistics in clinical research is critical. As a matter of fact, biostatistics can be deployed to accumulate clinical data, analyze data, interpret data and explain and present facts in a succinct manner. Applying biostatistics in clinical research facilitates researchers to portray, recapitulate, pres -
-hesive manner. Biostatistics also act as a medium that enables researchers to outline the research pa -rameters such as; whether to take a part or the entire data that is available etc. Bio-statistical tech -niques and analytics are predominantly utilized to convey results of a research and also to support hy -pothetical scenarios which in turn renders the research methodology and subsequent conclusion credible.

Today, biostatistics are widely used by pharmaceuti -cal organizations, biotech, diagnostic and research and development organizations. Pharmaceutical or -ganizations have applied biostatistics strategically to provide personalized drugs that take into consid -eration the preferences of patients. To facilitate this, pharmaceutical organizations collect statistical data from patients to understand their likes and dislikes. This statistical data is then used to create therapeu -tic drugs. Health care providers have also started to use bio-statistical data to provide personalized medical treatments. Medical treatments are tactical -ly customized to meet individual requirements of pa -tients. In this instance, patients are categorized into groups that are diverse when it comes to being sus -

addition, biostatisticians are also well versed with the design and demeanor of research, the approach used for data collection, data analysis and elucidat -ing results of the research. The vocation of a bio -statistician is driven by queries pertaining to peo -ples’ health, either as individuals or as large groups. For example; a biostatistician ponders as to how a

databases. They also take into account the tools used to assimilate the data and the respondents from whom the data was collected. It is also impera -tive that biostatisticians consider the available facts and decide whether a solution can be arrived at using existing methods or whether an entirely new set of analytical process should be implemented to obtain a solution. They also have to work in tandem with subject matter experts such as cancer biolo -gists or specialists in infectious diseases, individuals who undertake data collection activities etc. Biostat -isticians are also required to build study designs, rec -ommend study contacts and also implement tech -niques to analyze the data.

As mentioned above bio-statistical activities are un -dertaken by pharmaceutical organizations, biotech

The primary concern of these organiza -tions’ is to create life saving drugs or undertake ex -tensive research activities that would eventually lead to breakthroughs in the way healthcare is deliv -ered to the masses. Undertaking bio-statistical activ -ities would require the organization to employ bio -statisticians or use in-house resources to execute bio-statistical tasks. In case the organization opts to use in-house resources that are not equipped to ex -ecute the task, it would result in loss of time, resourc -es and the end result would tend to jeopardize the
