## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT (CORE A, BIOSTATISTICS AND COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY CORE)
The Biostatistics and Computational Biology (BCB) Core provides comprehensive professional support to ensure
statistical integrity, including study design, algorithm selection and implementation, data integrity across the
entire research cycle, internal and external data sharing, and data analysis/interpretation of the studies
performed by the University of Michigan SPORE titled Molecularly Targeted Radiosensitization of Locally
Advanced Cancers. The Core assists investigators with the proper planning of experiments and choice of
technologies, assists with the information management of laboratory-based experimental and clinical data
generated by SPORE projects, and conducts rigorous biostatistical and bioinformatics analyses in close
collaboration with the SPORE investigators. The BCB Core includes members with diverse expertise and
experience. The core leaders, Drs. Schipper and Rao, are assisted by faculty and staff analysts and
programmers with the expertise needed to support the activities in the SPORE. The core will support data flow
and warehousing within the SPORE as well as with entities outside of the SPORE. Both leaders are integrated
into the biostatistical and bioinformatic infrastructures at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, and
they can call on additional assistance as needed to support the evolving research of the SPORE. The Core has
the flexibility to match personnel to the needs of existing and developmental SPORE projects.
