Nonclinical Biostatistics Working Group

 

A Message from the Nonclinical Biostatistics Working Group Steering Committee

Thank you for visiting our website! The Nonclinical Biostatistics Working Group (NCBWG) is part of ASA’s Biopharmaceutical Section. We are a collaborative community of statistics professionals across the pharmaceutical industry. The objectives of the NCBWG are as follows:

  • Promote the theory and applications of nonclinical biostatistical disciplines through scholarly activities, including publication of journals in statistics and probability, scientific meetings, and other educational programs
  • Broaden applications of nonclinical biostatistical techniques in all areas of society, including industry and government
  • Promote better understanding and interest by the general public in nonclinical biostatistical methodology and related applications
  • Promote better communication through the development of standards and common terminology
  • Foster cooperative efforts among educational, research, industrial, and governmental personnel in non-clinical statistical activities
