Research projects
In terms of research, the Centre has recognised expertise in the field of Biostatistics and more broadly in the field of health data. As far as Biostatistics is concerned, the Centre's objective is to develop and propose statistical and methodological methods that meet the objectives of the research projects for which the Centre is a sponsor or partner. The B-STAT Centre also has recognised expertise in the development of customised web applications (screening programmes, medical studies, online questionnaires, etc.) and in database management. The Centre handles all stages of development from needs analysis to the final product and its maintenance. Special expertise is also offered in the field of nutritional epidemiology.
