News
In early 2018, the ASA-BIOP Nonclinical Biostatistics Working Group (NCBWG) endorsed the creation of a new workstream to reach out to graduate students and young professionals who are interested in nonclinical biostatistics.  Broadly speaking, nonclinical biostatistics includes four main areas of application: Discovery, Safety, Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC), and –Omics.  Learn more about nonclinical biostatistics by clicking here.


At the Nonclinical Biostatistics Conference, to be held in June 2023, we will offer a student poster competition.   Poster templates (36" x 48") may be downloaded here.  The first-place award is $250; the second-place award is $150.  Posters will be judged on content, presentation, and contribution to a biopharmaceutical topic. Judges will review all posters and decide on award recipients.  A limited number of financial travel grants are available to full-time students, with preference given to registered students presenting a poster in the area of nonclinical statistics.  Contact Jyh-Ming Shoung or Wei Zhao for additional details or to apply for the student travel grant.  For some oral presentation tips, click here.
