The role
What a biostatistician actually does, day to day.
As a biostatistician, you work on medical research teams using numbers and maths to answer important health questions. You help plan studies, collect data, and work out what the numbers are telling you about whether a new medicine works or a treatment is safe.
You spend time planning how to gather the right kind of data so it is fair and honest. Then you use computer software and your maths skills to look at it - checking for patterns, spotting problems, and making sure what you found is real and not just chance. You write clear explanations of what the numbers mean so doctors, patients and decision-makers understand what the research found.
