Welcome to the Quantitative Sciences Unit
Message from the Director
The Quantitative Sciences Unit (QSU) is a new unit in the Department of Medicine (DOM). The QSU is beginning its collaboration with faculty in the DOM in response to an increasing demand for statistical support and data coordination. The QSU was created largely to provide support for large-scale scientific projects. We believe that to further science, it is important to facilitate the flow of data to investigators as efficiently as possible. We are also committed to providing sound analyses in a timely fashion.

Our specific goals are to:
- Design studies that optimize the ease of interpreting results
- Provide high quality data analysis using modern statistical techniques
- Securely house and track data in a HIPAA-compliant and IRB-compliant manner
- Interpret results
- Disseminate findings
The QSU will also participate in various educational and training opportunities on Stanford campus. Once fully established, our personnel will consist of statisticians, statistical programmers, data managers, and software developers.
Stanford has a rich history of doing high quality science. We are excited to be part of that process and look forward to collaborating with the Stanford scientific community.
