Hi, I am Yvette, a Biostatistician at Parexel.

2
00:00:04.250 --> 00:00:08.140
In my view, the role of the
Biostatistician is like a thread.

3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:09.740
Sometimes we are not quite visible,

4
00:00:09.770 --> 00:00:14.010
but we are actually linking different
functions together using our statistical

5
00:00:14.011 --> 00:00:16.757
knowledge to tackle
the research questions.

6
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:19.720
Our daily work involves more than just

7
00:00:19.740 --> 00:00:24.586
collecting and analyzing data together
with programmers and data management team.

8
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:29.300
We are also collaborating with clinicians
to interpret the study results

9
00:00:29.490 --> 00:00:33.571
and support their clinical operation
team of study maintenance.

10
00:00:33.743 --> 00:00:36.109
Occasionally, we were also involved

11
00:00:36.110 --> 00:00:40.871
in regulatory teams to address the queries
raised by the health authorities.

12
00:00:41.450 --> 00:00:47.214
From all these daily tasks,
we already noticed that to become a good Biostatistician,

13
00:00:48.097 --> 00:00:52.220
a good knowledge
of statistical methods is very essential.

14
00:00:52.250 --> 00:00:57.640
But what is equally important is that you
have very good communication and personal

15
00:00:57.670 --> 00:01:02.660
skills to ensure all the information flow
smoothly for this role.

16
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:03.120
Thank you.
