Abstract
The 2020 Peking University Biostatistics Summer School will be jointly (online) hosted by the Department of Biostatistics of Peking University and the Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research from August 17 to 21. This summer school has invited well-known biostatisticians and applied mathematicians from home and abroad to focus on the frontiers of biostatistics in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Through short courses and academic lectures, it aims to accelerate the cross-integration of biostatistics with related disciplines, and provide a world-class university transformative learning experience for outstanding graduate students and young scholars who love biostatistics and are interested in related research. This summer school is open to young teachers or scientific researchers, postdoctoral fellows, doctoral students, master’s students and outstanding senior undergraduates in statistics, biostatistics, epidemiology and health statistics, public health, data science and health care big data analysis at home and abroad. Applicants must have a good foundation in mathematics, statistics and data science, have a strong interest in statistics, medicine or health care data science, be willing to engage in academic research in this field or pursue a doctorate, and have strong (or potentially strong) academic research ability.
