Biostatistical Team

Our goal is to improve primary care practice by advancing the field of primary care research, in the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond. To that end we employ state-of-the-art techniques in data science, including biomedical informatics and biostatistics, to help turn data into information, information into evidence, and evidence into knowledge.
