EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document summarizes the activities of the Division
of Biostatistics in the Institute for Health & Equity of the
Medical College of Wisconsin for 2017 and 2018.
The division supports the missions of the Medical College
of Wisconsin through its graduate and continuing medical
professional training in biostatistics; its support of funded
research projects bringing in over $140 million external funds
in 2017 and $169 million external funds in 2018 to MCW; its
prominence in the development of novel statistical methods
for biomedical data; and its biostatistical consulting service.
In 2017, we co-authored 73 papers including four papers in high
impact journals (New England for Journal of Medicine, Journal
of Clinical Oncology), helped investigators apply successfully
for 18 new grants worth $13.9 million, and collaborated on over 397 projects through the Biostatistics
Consulting Service. In 2018, we co-authored 160 papers including six papers in high impact journals,
(British Journal of Hematology, Lifetime Data Analysis, Statistics in Medicine, The American
Statistician), helped investigators apply successfully for 21 new grants worth $34.6 million, and
collaborated on 341 projects through the Biostatistics Consulting Service.
The division faculty has active research programs in various areas of biostatistics. The division is
recognized worldwide for its research in survival analysis. Other areas of investigation include statistical
genetics, Bayesian statistics, big data methods, design and analysis of clinical trials, and multiple
comparisons. The division faculty had 13 methodological papers in 2017 and 20 methodological papers
in 2018 that appeared in statistical literature either as an online publication or in print (See Appendix 1).

BIOSTATISTICS NEWS
Two new faculty joined the division in 2017:
Chien-Wei (Masaki) Lin completed his PhD in Biostatistics from the University
of Pittsburgh; he has expertise and research interests in bioinformatics and the analysis
of different types of -omics data.
Noorie Hyun joined us after completing a PhD in Biostatistics at the University of North
Carolina and a post-doctoral fellowship at the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and
Genetics at the National Cancer Institute. She has research interests in the analysis of
time-to-event data, complex probability sampling, and synthesis of information from
electronic health records to enhance statistical inference.
We also hired three new analysts, Kadam Patel, Xuerong (Joy) Liu, and Ruizhe (Rachel) Wu in 2018, and
said goodbye to one of our analysts, Ziyan Yin, who left to pursue a PhD in Biostatistics. Jennifer Ward
joined the division in early 2018 as a Research Program Coordinator II, after our prior Program
Coordinator Tiara Cargile left for another opportunity.
Several faculty members received grants as PIs to support their biostatistical methodologic research.
Drs. Ahn and Kim were awarded an Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin-Research and Education Program
grant in 2017, titled “Optimal conditioning regimen intensity for competing risks data in myelodysplastic
syndromes.” Dr. Kim also received Cancer Center pilot funding in 2017 for a project titled, “Variable
selection for the case cohort design with multiple diseases.” Dr. Banerjee received CTSI Pilot funding in
2018 as the PI of a project titled, "Ensemble learning integrated with cancer survivor intervention," and
also received an R21 grant from the NCI in 2018 entitled, "Bayesian learning algorithms for identifying
and classifying heterogeneity of cell types in variety of solid tumors."
Four PhD students successfully defended their dissertations, Michael Martens and Yushu Shi in 2017 and
Bonifride Tuyishimire and Natasha Sahr in 2018,
Several of our division faculty members were involved in notable high impact publications.
2017
• Drs. Zhang, Banerjee, and Logan in the Journal of Clinical Oncology
• Dr. Wang in the New England Journal of Medicine
2018
• Dr. Fraser in the Journal of Clinical Oncology
• Dr. Szabo in JAMA Oncology
In Fall 2017, we organized and hosted a National Conference titled, “Biostatistics in the Modern
Computing Era.” It was extremely successful, drawing 125 attendees to attend talks in areas including
high-dimensional analysis, precision medicine, genomic data analysis, Bayesian modeling and clinical
trials. At the end of the conference, Dr. Sparapani co-led an all-day workshop on Bayesian Additive
Regression Trees (BART) for 45 attendees.

METHODOLOGIC RESEARCH
The division faculty has active research programs in various areas of biostatistics. The division is recognized worldwide
for its research in survival analysis. Other areas of investigation include statistical genetics, Bayesian statistics, big data
methods, design and analysis of clinical trials, and multiple comparisons. The division faculty had 13 methodological
papers in 2017 and 20 in 2018 that appeared in statistical literature either as an online publication or in print. (See list
below). In addition to publications, the Division of Biostatistics also presented 0ten methodological
presentations/abstracts in 2017 and 10 in 2018. (See Appendix 1).

BIOSTATISTICS CONSULTING SERVICE
The Biostatistics Consulting Service (BCS) provides statistical support to investigators at the Medical College, its affiliates
and the general public. The services provided include assistance with study design, data management, statistical analysis,
interpretation of study results and assistance in grant preparation. This pre-arranged assistance is available through the BCS
on a recharge basis or through pre-arranged contracts with Departments or Centers as described previously.
The BCS collaborated on 397 (2017) and 341 (2018) projects, totaling 738 projects and 9,401 hours with Biostatistics Faculty
and Analysts collaborating time. Following is a breakdown of projects per MCW department or other affiliation.
The BCS provides drop-in consulting hours per week, similar to “faculty office hours” where staff biostatisticians designate
weekly hours specifically available to investigators for free statistical consultations. To learn more, view the Biostatistics
Consulting Service website.
