Midwest Biopharmaceutical Statistics Workshop

The purpose of the Midwest Biopharmaceutical Statistics Workshop is to foster discussion on statistical methodology in the pharmaceutical industry. The next edition is May 19-21, 2014. The first annual conference was held in 1978. The founders decided to proceed with a conference emphasis on the applications and theory relevant to the pharmaceutical industry. Since the pharmaceutical industry spanned a wide range of research and development activity – basic biological and chemical research, clinical research, process development, assay development, dosage form development, stability, quality control, quality assurance, and manufacturing – it was decided that at least three “parallel tracks” were necessary in order to better serve the pharmaceutical statisticians. The founders also pledged to provide opportunities for young statisticians to present, discuss, and interact with some of the more experienced and well-known industrial, academic, and government statisticians.
