Our primary role is to provide the campus with support on study design and biostatistics. There are several ways to reach us:
- short questions – would you have any specific questions regarding biostatistics and related aspects, do not hesitate share them with us here, we will do our best to reply shortly
- open Desks for the campus are held together with colleagues from the other Hub Poles to further accommodate your needs in terms of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics. They take place on Tuesday morning, in the basement of the Yersin building. Feel free to come to us, our agenda is here
- projects from the campus may be submitted to the Hub through the Hub portal. Do not hesitate to contact us prior to submission, if needed. The project management process, terms and conditions are available at the Hub’s webpage.
How we can help
We may provide support on basic and common issues :
- Study design and protocol development
- Sample size and power calculation
- Statistical analysis (tests, univariate approaches)
- Data visualisation
- Dealing with correlated data
- Computing (R, Python, Matlab and so on)
or we may collaborate on advanced tasks, including high-dimensional or various types of data :
- Multivariate approaches
- Statistical modeling
- Machine learning
In addition to regular experimental data, most of our activity is dedicated to dealing with:
- Omics data (transcriptomics, single cell, genomics, proteomics, metagenomics, metabolomics)
- Epidemiological data
- Imaging
Who we are
Of course, the above is not a comprehensive list. Our group gathers people with a diversity of backgrounds in modeling, statistics, and biology, covering most of the research needs in our Institute. Our mission is to provide an environment of excellence across Institut Pasteur. We are committed to help research teams and platforms design robust and reproducible studies, analyze complex data, interpret results and share findings with accuracy and rigour.
Our favourite quote
To consult the statistician after an experiment is finished is often merely to ask him to conduct a post mortem examination. He can perhaps say what the experiment died of. (Ronald A Fisher)
