## Abstract

Core 2. Biostatistics and Bioinformatics
Abstract
The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core of the MSCP SPORE provides services for the design of experiments 
and the analysis of in vitro, in vivo, clinical, translational and -omics data. The investigators and staff of both 
segments of the Core have significant experience in research in skin cancers, so that data are analyzed in the 
appropriate scientific context, increasing the Core's efficiency and effectiveness compared to general purpose 
data analysis services. The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Core combines classical statistical techniques with 
contemporary Bayesian, machine learning and genomics methods to ensure that every research project, DRP 
and CEP awardee in the MSCP SPORE has access to the most appropriate analyses. The Core will also work 
closely with Core 1 to ensure that data flows between laboratories, clinics and analysts are efficient and that 
data and resource sharing can be effective and comprehensive.
