I am a professional biostatistician working in a Contract Research Organization (CRO) company. My job is to improve the efficacy and safety of new drugs. It is meaningful to me as it helps improve patient's health and quality of life. I am also pursuing my Ph.D. degree at the moment. It is a field where serious statistics and data analysis is required. I've also worked in a marketing position where database marketing was performed to promote the sales of the product.
Having been exposed to the academic, financial, and clinical environment, I possess versatile SAS experience. I am systematically trained and am holding 3 SAS certifications: SAS Base, SAS Advance, and SAS Clinical Trial.
Learning data analysis is not always easy, that's why I would like to create several courses at various levels to share my knowledge and expertise so that you can avoid the pitfalls and gain efficiency while learning SAS.
