Departments and Professorships

The Department of Biometry and Bioinformatics at the Institute for medical Information Processing, Biometry, and Epidemiology provides research, education, and consultation on statistical methods for fundamental medical research, clinical projects, and public health more

The Chair leads innovative research projects in the fields of Health Services Research and Public Health with the goal of improving the health and well-being of clinical populations and the general population. more

The tasks of the department include: The development of innovative biostatistical concepts for the integration of the cancer registry of the TRM with the clinical and health care research, contributing to the expansion and integration of registries in clinical epidemiology and public health, and providing support for the research of biomarkers and molecular medicine more

The professorship focuses on methological and biostatistical aspects of clinical research. We deal with deriving answerable clinical questions, developing study design and framework, supervising the progress of clinical trials with biostatistical methods, statistical analysis and communication of results. We investigate own research questions in clinical epidemiology and methodological issues related to dealing with systematic bias and statistical uncertainty. more

The working group's research activities concentrate on three main areas:

-Development of statistical methods
-Statistical applications/consulting
-Epistemology more

Subjects

- Vertigo and Dizziness
- Aging Research
- Health Services Research
- Patient Reported Outcomes more

The field of Public Health aims to provide conditions in which people can live a healthy life (Institute of Medicine, 1988 u. 2002). This task of public health is only achievable through the cooperation of various different actors in society. The World Health Organization therefore describes Public Health as the science and practice of disease prevention, prolongation of life, and promotion of health through community intervention. more

The department, or rather, Institute for Genetic Epidemiology (IGE) concerns itself with the planning, execution, and analysis of projects aiming to identify genetic factors that lead to complex diseases in humans. This includes the application, development, and implementation of different statistical methods, for example for rare mutations, mitochondrial DNA, gene-gene interaction, genotype-environment interaction, familial studies, and the consideration of population structures. more

The Department for Epidemiology, managed by Professor Dr. Jakob Linseisen, will establish a patient-oriented epidemiology research program at Klinikum Augsburg. more

Die Struktur des Lehrstuhls für Biometrie und Bioinformatik am IBE ist darauf ausgerichtet, Forschung, Ausbildung und Beratung in statistisch methodischen Fragen für medizinische Grundlagenforschung, klinische Projekte und Public Health anzubieten. more
