"Every single day here is worth waking up to, because you always have something new and exciting to learn. My major focus of study is epidemiology and biostatistics and the application of these in control of infectious diseases affecting developing countries. Ultimately my goal is to study for a Ph.D. in epidemiology or biostatistics and then pursue a career in pharmaceutical research with emphasis in drug discovery and manufacture."AREAS OF CONCENTRATION
Epidemiology/Biostatistics
The resources of the Division of Epidemiology and the Division of Biostatistics in the School of Public Health combine to offer a curricular track directed toward acquiring proficiency in both biostatistics and epidemiology. Training emphasizes development of skills applicable to the study of the occurrence and distribution of disease, focusing on determining the impact and magnitude of disease frequency so that effective control measures can be designed. Areas of study include investigation of the natural history and clinical course of disease, as well as the study of statistical methods used to identify and evaluate risk factors associated with disease outcomes.
