Hi, I am Yvette, a Biostatistician at Parexel.
In my view, the role of the Biostatistician is like a thread.
Sometimes we are not quite visible,
but we are actually linking different functions together using our statistical
knowledge to tackle the research questions.
Our daily work involves more than just
collecting and analyzing data together with programmers and data management team.
We are also collaborating with clinicians to interpret the study results
and support their clinical operation team of study maintenance.
Occasionally, we were also involved
in regulatory teams to address the queries raised by the health authorities.
From all these daily tasks, we already noticed that to become a good Biostatistician,
a good knowledge of statistical methods is very essential.
But what is equally important is that you have very good communication and personal
skills to ensure all the information flow smoothly for this role.
Thank you.
