Biostatistics & Bioinformatics Support
Biostatistical and bioinformatics consultation and support is available to all UCVM faculty, staff, and trainees (DVM students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows). Basic consultation is free of charge, and more extensive input into research projects and analysis work is available on a fee for service basis.
Our mission is to provide support on bioinformatics and other computer-assisted tasks to the academic community at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, to the University of Calgary community in general and anybody else that may benefit from our services.

Biostatistics is a field of statistics that deals specifically with the application of statistical methods to the biological and health sciences. It plays a crucial role in the design, analysis, and interpretation of experiments and studies in medicine, biology, public health, and related disciplines, to ensure the statistical analyses are appropriate and the results are valid and meaningful.
