Frontiers in Biostatistics Seminar Tuesday September 15, 2020 at 1:00PM Eastern Time Peter F. Thall, PhD Department of Biostatistics University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Abstract: Conventional evaluation of a new drug, 𝐴, is done in three phases. Phase I relies on toxicity to determine a “maximum tolerable dose” (MTD) of 𝐴, in phase […]
Data Science Seminar September 22, 2020 2:00PM ET Ignaty Leshchiner, PhD Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women's Hospital Zoom link: http://bit.ly/DSSept22 Abstract: Real-time study of tumor emergence and progression in patients will help predict and ultimately change the course of the patient's disease. This could be achieved by inferring genotypes of heterogeneous cell populations within […]

This is true at a range of scales – from cells […]
In December of 2019, we planned the next Marvin Zelen Symposium for March of 2020. At that point, the year ahead seemed to be a data spectacle waiting to happen. Think about all the events planned for 2020! Here’s what we wrote. The topic of this year's Marvin Zelen Symposium has to do with the […]
Frontiers in Biostatistics Seminar October 13, 2020 1:00PM Lu Tian, PhD Associate Professor of Biomedical Data Science in the School of Medicine Stanford University It is appealing to compared survival distributions based on restricted mean survival time (RMST), since it generates a clinically interpretable summary of the treatment effect, which can be estimated nonparametrically without […]
Data Science Seminar October 15, 2020 1:00PM ET Dominik Glodzik, PhD Repare Therapeutics Zoom link: https://bit.ly/DSOct15 Abstract: Whole genome sequences contain within them signatures of mutational processes. In particular, some of the mutation signatures relate to impaired DNA-repair in cancer cells. Accurate measurement of mutation signatures reveals the role of DNA-repair deficiencies in etiology and […]
