Computational Resources
Advances in biomedical science place extreme demands on investigators for computational technology. The Abigail Wexner Research Institute (AWRI) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital is working to meet those demands with a comprehensive array of computational services including biostatistics, epidemiologic analysis, database design and technical support.
The Computational Resources (CR) program encompasses four main areas of computational expertise:
Director: Shasha Bai, PhD
The Biostatistics Resource at Nationwide Children's Hospital (BRANCH) is an extension of The Ohio State University's Center for Biostatistics. BRANCH provides collaboration and assistance for grant development, data analysis, publication-ready results and statistical education. Our goal is to bolster the quality of research conducted within NCH and the Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s.
