UCSF CCMBM Core Services Newsletter - November 2021
“The CCMBM is a valuable resource, particularly for the musculoskeletal community. Support for bioinformatics and for imaging are crucial to have and the cores bring critical technologies to UCSF. Also, bringing in speakers from across the country and world is vital to our learning mission and for setting up collaborations. Thank you for doing this!”


-- Edward Hsiao, MD, PhD, Professor, Department of Medicine, UCSF
Need to perform power calculations for your grant application? Need assistance interpreting data from your recent experiments? The CCMBM Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Study Design (EBSD) Core is here to help!

The EBSD Core provides support for a broad spectrum of study design and analysis questions for CCMBM members. The core leverages services available at UCSF through the CTSI Consultation Services. All UCSF investigators get one free hour per service (e.g., Biostatistics and Machine Learning, Study Design and Implementation). Furthermore, CCMBM members additionally get 5 free hours of Masters' level data analysis/data management, plus a free hour of PhD level consultation.

For more information, please contact EBSD Program Manager Lucy Wu.
