Summer Hangouts: Tess Cherlin
From Data to Insight: Applying Survival Analysis in Clinical Research
RDDSX space outside the Collaborative Classroom
Van Pelt-Dietrich Library
In clinical research, we often want to determine whether an intervention improves patient outcomes — such as whether a new cancer therapy increases survival rates. Conversely, we also seek to understand how long it takes for certain patient populations to develop a disease, such as the time to cardiovascular disease onset stratified by sex assigned at birth. In this tutorial, we will use simulated clinical data and apply survival analysis methods to explore disease outcomes. Cloud-based RStudio (Posit) will be used for this tutorial. No coding skills required to participate.

DDDI’s 2025 Summer Hangouts program offers students the opportunity to participate in informal, hands-on tutorials led by our postdoctoral research fellows. These tutorials are open to students from all backgrounds and skill levels and cover various data science methods and topics.
Our Hangouts series this year will explore machine learning, statistics, optimization, and generative AI for scientific discovery across fields. Hangouts will be held twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from June 10th through June 25th. A pizza lunch will be provided.
