biostatistician
Health data analyst
A biostatistician applies statistical methods to biological, medical, and public health research.
The work involves designing studies, analyzing clinical trial data, and interpreting results to draw conclusions about treatments, disease patterns, or health outcomes: The biostatistician determined that the sample size was too small to detect a meaningful effect.
