Nonclinical Biostatistics Bayesian CMC Scientific Working Group
About this workstream
Co-chairs: Christopher Thompson and Ji Young Kim
The Bayesian workstream was established in 2019 with the aim of advancing the use and acceptance of Bayesian methods within the nonclinical statistics space. The workstream, which falls under the umbrella of the ASA Biopharmaceutical Nonclinical Working Group (NCBWG), includes several industry and academia members who form small sub-teams to work on specific projects aimed promoting Bayesian methods.
How to get involved
If you are interested in staying up-to-date in our work or possibly jumping into a certain project, we would like to add you to our email list (please contact one of the co-chairs to be added to the list). There is no obligation to participate. As new projects are identified, we will reach out to the broad group and seek volunteers to fill specific roles in the projects. Therefore, you can choose to simply stay informed or become active in a particular initiative. Either way, our hope is to build a broader community of interest / contributors that will help to advance the use of Bayesian methods.
