Welcome

The Department of Biostatistics is delighted to share with you the inaugural edition of our Pitt Biostatistics eNews that contains many exciting stories about our alumni, students, staff, faculty, and the department. You can find more information on our website, and we encourage you to reach out and get in touch!

2020 is kicking off with many exciting new initiatives! Our two new master’s concentrations are open for enrollment. Our alumni engagement is at an all-time high. And we have some exciting events planned for this year.

Currently, 61 students are enrolled in our master’s and PhD programs, and we have hired three outstanding new junior faculty members in the last year. Our students and faculty have won numerous awards and contributed several publications.

If you enjoy this newsletter, please share with colleagues and friends.
