Design. Analysis. Interpretation. Reporting.
From preclinical studies to epidemiology, the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Roswell Park develops cutting-edge methods and software tools focused on cancer research.
With expertise across biology, medicine, statistics, mathematics and computer science, our faculty guide and participate in basic, translational, epidemiological and clinical trials research. Our department chair is Alan Hutson, Ph.D.
“Our goal with the work we do every day at Roswell Park is to assess what the most pressing priorities are in data utilization and management, and then address those challenges and opportunities so we can support the biggest oncology advances of the next decade.”
Data-driven expertise across five divisions
Biostatistics and Statistical Genomics
Developing, overseeing, implementing, analyzing, publishing and reporting Roswell Park’s scientific studies. Co-directed by Dr. Qianqian Zhu and Dr. Han Yu.
Bioinformatics
Designing, analyzing, and interpretating genomics, proteomics, and other high-resolution, high-throughput based studies. Led by Dr. Song Liu.
Biomedical Research Information
Creating innovative informatics tools that optimize data acquisition, data quality and data curation. Led by Dr. Sarah Mullin.
Bioconductor Project
Providing tools for the analysis and comprehension of high-throughput genomic data. Led by Dr. Martin Morgan.
Clinical Trial Development Division (CTDD)
Working with investigators and sponsors to develop, conduct, monitor and report clinical trials. Led by Angela Kuras.
“The r/Bioconductor project enables researchers worldwide to develop, share and use leading-edge statistical approaches and to place the insights we gain from these tools into their appropriate contexts so we can support medical research that’s both more accurate and more actionable.”
Unmatched clinical trials management
The Clinical Trial Development Division (CTDD), under the direction of Virginia Filiaci, PhD, works with investigators and sponsors to develop, conduct, monitor and report clinical trials. Our experienced team provides full statistical, data management, project management and quality assurance collaboration on multi-center clinical trials.
Multi-center cancer clinical trials
450+
Patient registrations
113,000+
Phase 3 trials
120+
CTDD also offers an efficient and cost-effective budgeting process and access to a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant electronic data collection option for NCI funded clinical trials.
Far-reaching research networks
Roswell Park’s Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics also houses several large-scale collaboration projects, including participation in the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Moonshot Initiative.
NRG Oncology Network
Conducting practice-changing multi-institutional clinical and translational research

CAP-IT seeks to establish a new discovery research paradigm in cancer prevention.
Learn moreTraining the next generation of scientists
In addition to our research and community outreach, the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics is actively involved in hands-on teaching with Master’s and PhD students in our highly competitive graduate studies program.
Our faculty also work closely with the University at Buffalo’s Biostatistics Department, training and mentoring numerous UB doctoral candidates.
Our multidisciplinary education model allows students a unique immersive experience, preparing them for successful careers as independent investigators.
