Modern biology is driven by the ever-growing data collected at different scales, from molecular to organs, to organisms. In this era of modern, quantitative biology, statistical methods are key to developing principled approaches that scale with the growing size and complexity of the collected data. In this workshop, we explore the landscape of state-of-the-art biostatistical approaches to modern biology and their interface with bioinformatics and computational biology.
