What are some differences between biostatisticians in hospitals and the pharma industry? What are some specific skill sets required for these jobs? And how can Bayesian framework be used in benefit-risk assessment of new medical products or interventions? Carl DiCasoli will answer all these questions for you. Carl obtained his PhD in statistics from North Carolina State University and currently is working as the director of biostatistics at Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, where he acts as senior reviewer and lead biostatistician in clinical trials in neurology, designs innovative Bayesian adaptive phase 1 first-in-human single ascending dose study for a new compound at Sunovion and collaborates with Frontier Business Division within Sunovion to drive clinical trials for a digital therapeutics medical device to treat social anxiety. Wait, what is that? I've also seen Carl's name on the Piano World piano forums? And there are words on the street that instead of a statistician, he was almost a professional classical pianist? Let's hear more about it in this episode. Check out this video for Dr. DiCasoli's great piano performance in 2019 San Diego International Amateur Piano Competition Finalist!
