Presenter: Alexander Y. Mitrophanov, PhD (ABCS/FNLCR) 

We will cover recently developed statistical approaches to the classification of BRCA2 variants using the functional-assay data generated by our NCI collaborators (Dr. Sharan’s lab). Our main objective is to illustrate how statistical modeling and analysis can provide essential means to solve a biological problem. Knowledge of intermediate college-level statistics (including notions such as random variables, probability distributions, and logistic regression) is expected. 

This will be a hybrid event. To register, please visit the following link: https://cbiit.webex.com/weblink/register/r11288043ae8690e27717c961014b269c
