What are some of the methods used in Pharma biostat outside clinical trials?
And yea I am thinking of doing a PhD but I don’t know if I want to do Biostats again vs something like a DS PhD. It feels like the latter has a lot more interesting opportunities in industry, and seems to do more cutting edge biomedical data analysis, in big companies like Verily and Genentech. The branding is tough with Biostats I feel, because most jobs I see on LI are super formal SAPs, SAS, and the submissions. I don’t even want to touch SAS again lol.
Outside that it seems like there are omics jobs, but these need the domain knowledge and my program never covered them. So if I do Biostats I feel a good amount of Bioinformatics needs to be done too. I have gone for those positions but I lack the domain knowledge of all these sequencing technologies.
