Biostatistics is a Division within the Department of Health Sciences Research and has had a distinguished history of methodological research and statistical collaboration at Mayo since 1929. The division is staffed by more than 140 statisticians (25 Ph.D., 50 M.S., 70 B.S.) as well as information technology and support staff. The Survey Research Center, founded in 1991, is part of the Division of Biostatistics and facilitates the conduct of surveys for Mayo investigators and also advances the science of survey research through methodological experimentation.

Our Work

In addition to general consulting on over 1,000 ongoing investigations, this group provides core statistical support for a number of major projects such as the Mayo Cancer Center and North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG), the Mayo General Clinical Research Center (GCRC), the Rochester Epidemiology Project, the Alzheimer's Disease Center, and Program Projects such as the Mayo Stroke Center and the Mayo Study of Bone Metabolism in Aging. As a consequence, over half of the Ph.D. statisticians are extramurally supported.
