How statistics helps make life-saving medicines

A brief journey into how statisticians guide new medicines to people that need them.

Stay updated with the channel and some stuff I make!

I have interests in combining biology, statistics and computer science together in my work (creating software that also does mathematical modeling to help with biomedical problems is my main focus), so I really like your channel as I'm learning all 3 on the job. I'm planning on applying to PhD programs next year, so this channel is helping me out with informing my interests so thank you!

I really love this channel a lot. It’s helped me a lot with my statistical course(still helping me hehe) - thanks for the new video. Have a good one, man.

I mean obviously Clinical Trials are trials that are clinical in nature :-). LOL. Whenever I tell someone I'm a data analyst and they respond with "I could never do that" or something similar I respond with "Thanks for the job security." LOL

Is this your first sponsorship? Don’t remember seeing another one, congrats man!!

5:41 : huh, monotonically… I would expect that to tend to be the case, but my impulse is to try to imagine a reason that it might fail to be monotonic…
maybe if the body responds to doses above a certain level with something that effectively counteracts it to some extent (perhaps because of like, a failsafe for if some other erroneous body process would have an effect similar to a dose of the drug), but then increasing it further overwhelms this counteracting effect? But… why would the body semi-sharply switch on the failsafe after a certain threshold, rather than just gradually ramping it up in proportion to the excess of whatever quantity?
I guess this idea for why it could fail to be monotonic probably doesn’t happen.

Hey Hello. Idk if this is the right place to ask this question.
I am 16 and I am heavily interested in Statistics for private uses but I was also thinking about implementing it in a future business model, however, I fear that AI might take over this region. Is it still feasible as a business model? Should it remain as a private rule to manage my investments? I think that understanding and using statistical fundamentals will still become very useful in the future but can it *still* become more than that

CRM looks very similar to bernoulli regression
