Title: "Medical statistician at a teaching hospital: a personal
perspective"
Abstract:
"I will describe the variety of statistical activities encountered in
a medical statistics unit based at Addenbrooke's Hospital. These
activities fall into three main categories: advisory, collaborative,
and critical review. They will be illustrated by drawing on anonymised
real-life material. The talk should mostly interest those either
studying or
teaching applied statistics."
Wednesday 6th December 2000, time 2:30pm, Hatfield Campus, Room 2F390
Lesley Wise (University of Hertfordshire)
Title: "Genetic Epidemiology:
How do we locate genes associated with human disease?"
Abstract:
"The fields of human genetics and statistics have had a long
association. In this talk I will present an overview of the
application of statistical methods to the genetics of human diseases.
The study designs used to assess whether there is genetic involvement
in a particular disease, and where the defective gene(s) might be,
will be presented. The application and potential pitfalls of these
methods to both simple Mendelian and more complex human diseases will
be discussed."
