"As a longtime member of the CCMBM, I have found the Cores valuable to my research. The support provided by CCMBM’s Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Study Design Core has significantly improved the quality of our research in my lab and has provided opportunities for training for the lab’s post-doctoral fellows and students."
-- Thomas M. Link, MD, PhD, Professor, Chief of Musculoskeletal Imaging and Clinical Director of MQIR, Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, UCSF
