Help for Statistics at UMKC and KUMC (October 1, 2007).
Category: Professional details
I get lots of questions about where to go for help with Statistics for
someone outside of Children's Mercy Hospital. If you are a student or
work at the University of Missouri, Kansas City (UMKC) or at Kansas
University Medical Center (KUMC), there are a lot of resources you can
investigate.
The UMKC Department of Mathematics
and Statistics has five PhD level statisticians:
The UMKC School of Medicine has a new department, Informatic Medicine
& Personalized Health. There is no web site available yet for this
department, but this group has a PhD level statistician, Jian Li, and a
Masters level statistician, Aaron Bonham. The primary contact for someone
looking for consulting help is Aaron Bonham (816-235-6688).
The UMKC School of Nursing also has a PhD level statistician:
The UMKC School of Computing and
Engineering has several PhD level computer scientists who are
familiar with bioinformatics, data mining, machine learning, and/or
signal processing.
At KUMC, you should contact the
KU Center for
Biostatistics & Advanced Informatics. The group consolidates the work
of statisticians at the various departments at KUMC. Key staff members
are listed at
Currently, there are 7/8 PhD level and 7/8 Bachelors/Masters level
staff members in this group. Most have a background in Statistics or in a
closely related area.
The website also has a nice page
Additional support for research at KUMC is provided by the
General Clinical Research
Center.
I am familiar with many of the statisticians at UMKC and KUMC. They
are all excellent people to work with.
