Keynote:
Data Standards and CDISC: A Statistical Perspective
Stephen Wilson, Ph.D, FDA
-
With eCTDs, the CDISC/Standard Data Tabulation Model, and CRADA-generated
electronic review tools, the FDA has taken some giant steps to improve the
efficiency of regulatory review. Are we done yet? We have places to put data
and tools to help us ask questions — now comes some of the "hard part." How do
we unambiguously communicate the business of our regulatory science
(statistical plans, results, programs, etc.)?
Stephen Wilson has worked as a Statistical Reviewer and Supervisory
Mathematical Statistician in FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research
(CDER) for 17 years and is currently the Deputy Director of the Division of
Biometrics II. He received his doctorate in Biostatistics from the University
of North Carolina/Chapel Hill in 1984.
- Option 2
Keynote:
A Trip Down Memory Lane

years. Rick has been a SAS user for 27 years, 24 of which have been with SAS
