PRESENTATION LETTER
About the Conference
The 44th Annual Conference of the International Society for Clinical Biostatistics (ISCB) is jointly organized with the Italian Region of the International Biometric Society.
It will be held from 27-31 August 2023, in Milan, ITALY, at the University of Milano Bicocca.
The ISCB Conference focuses both on methods and practical applications of biostatistics in medical, pharmaceutical and health-related research. Its aim is also to stimulate the use and development of new methods to further increase the value of scientific research in medicine.
The ISCB was founded in 1978 to stimulate research in the design and analysis of clinical research and increase the relevance of statistics to the world of clinical medicine. Its Annual Conference is a highly appreciated academic event that attracts 700 to 1000 researchers from the 5 continents.
The Annual Conference program extends over 5 days and includes teaching sessions, invited talks by distinguished specialists in the field, oral presentations of research papers, symposia, and poster displays.
Main contents
As with previous ISCB annual conferences, there will be talks on a wide range of statistical topics, such as: recent advances in high dimensional data analysis, causal inference, predictive algorithms and models, complex study protocols, efficient and innovative designs in clinical trials and observational studies, analysis of longitudinal data, quantification of effects and safety signals in clinical trials, and design and evaluation of vaccination programmes.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The scientific program promises to be of interest to statisticians, clinicians and members of other disciplines related to clinical research, such as epidemiologists, statistical geneticists and data scientists.
It is a pleasure to invite you all to come to the vibrant city of Milan to attend the Conference, participating in the stimulating scientific program and enjoying the social events.
We are also pleased to announce that the conference will be hybrid (with the possibility of a virtual attendance option).
