Welcome to the Institute of Medical Biometry and Epidemiology

We are scientists from the fields of mathematics, (bio-)statistics, epidemiology and related subjects. We are experts in our fields and have broad applied knowledge as well as experience in research and teaching.

Contributing to the promotion of scientific knowledge in medicine is our purpose. To this end, we support and facilitate researchers in planning, conducting and analyzing clinical and observational studies, and are responsible for planning, conducting, and analysis of epidemiological studies.
