The IQ Statistics Leadership Group would like to extend an invitation to the ASA Biopharmaceutical Section Nonclinical Biostatistics Conference (NCB), to be held at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey on June 12 – 14, 2017.
We are proud to write that we are now a working group of the Biopharmaceutical Section of the American Statistical Association and the new prefix to our conference name reflects this affiliation.
