Focus: The core competence of the team concentrates on the application and further development of statistical methods in medicine. The collaboration covers the entire spectrum of medical specialities, including clinical therapy studies, diagnostic and prognostic studies, observational and evaluation studies, systematic reviews, clinical registries, and genetic studies. Our activities towards the advancement and evaluation of biostatistical methods are motivated by application-related questions and focus on, among others, randomisation procedures, balancing scores and the use of mathematical models for study design, and the analysis of infectious diseases.
Network: The team works closely together with most of the clinics, centres, and institutes of the Medical University of Graz. Likewise, it benefits from an excellent methodological and professional collaboration with the colleagues at our national partner institutes, namely Graz University of Technology, the Medical University of Vienna and the Medical University of Innsbruck, and internationally with the University of Heidelberg, the BIPS Bremen, the University of Antwerp and others. Furthermore, there are co-operations with various health care institutions, such as ÖGK, GÖG, Hanusch-Krankenhaus, Kepler Universitätsklinikum GmbH, and the FH Joanneum.
