This year, this seminar will be devoted to work on statistical methods used in epidemiologic work. In addition to statistical methods of general epidemiologic use, a number of sessions will be devoted to topics in genetic epidemiology, family studies and clustered data issues. In addition to speakers from Harvard, a limited number of distinguished speakers from outside of Harvard will be invited to participate. Presentations of work by interested faculty and students will be solicited.
