ViCBiostat aims to be a world-leading, cross-institutional biostatistical research hub progressing statistical methods that will lead to better health.
ViCBiostat supports programs of methodological research embedded in health and medical research, provides training in biostatistical best practice, and fosters the development of current and future leaders in biostatistics.
The centre is a collaboration between the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Monash University and The University of Melbourne; with senior, mid-career and postdoctoral biostatisticians and PhD students from each institution. It provides a hub for methodological research through regular work-in-progress seminars, as well as dedicated support for the professional development of postdoctoral biostatisticians and PhD students. The centre is led by an executive committee comprising eight senior and mid-career academic biostatisticians.
Members of the wider biostatistics and research sector are welcome to attend the centre's monthly invited seminar presentations from national and international speakers, as well as our flagship Summer School series of short courses.
