American Statistical Association – Biopharmaceutical Section

The Biopharmaceutical Section focuses on applying statistics to the development and use of therapeutic drugs, biologics, devices, medicines, and related technologies in both humans and animals. Its primary interests include product discovery, development, quality control, evaluation of safety and efficacy, and health promotion through disease prevention, intervention, and surveillance. The section also engages with broader issues such as research ethics, standards for study design and reporting, policy impacts, and the dissemination of research through publications and continuing education. Overall, ASA-BIOP serves as a bridge between statistics, the life sciences, and public health.
