Knowledge of the basics of biostatistics is essential for both the analysis of medical research data and for a critical appraisal of research articles. The post-graduate course Biometrics will reintroduce you to the basics of biostatistics from an applied biomedical perspective.

Before you start a new animal experiment, a thorough analysis of previously performed experiments is essential from a scientific as well as from an ethical point of view.
The method that is most suitable for carrying out such a thorough analysis of the literature is a systematic review.
In this e-learning preclinical animal research is used as an example. The principles of the synthesis of evidence methodology used in the e-learning can also be applied to other kinds of (animal) research
This e-learning is an introduction to systematic reviews of animal studies. You will practice the most important steps of a systematic review and learn about the advantages as well as the limitations of this methodology.

In this workshop, you will be introduced to the concepts of synthesis of evidence and systematic reviews of animal studies and to the differences between these review methods and classical, so-called narrative reviews. Both the advantages and the limitations of systematic reviews will be discussed.

Lately science has been compromised in more than one occasion by issues related to the integrity of researchers and research teams. This course is designed to discuss integrity with researchers in training for PhD.

Knowledge of the basics of biostatistics is essential for both the analysis of medical research data and for a critical appraisal of research articles. This postgraduate course is particularly aimed at those who have previously followed an introductory course in (bio) statistics and now intend to do research.
