Staburo @ R/Pharma 2021 Conference

Staburo participated in the R/Pharma 2021 Conference hosted by a committee existing of R practitioners from different companies, universities, and the FDA from the 2– 4 November. The conference took place online due to Covid19.

The conference provided an overview of new and upcoming R packages in the development of pharmaceuticals and discussed the challenges and opportunities of using R in the pharma industry. For example, the admiral package developed by Roche and gsk offers a consistent and CDISC compliant way to generate ADaM datasets in R. Furthermore, the GeneTonic package provides a Shiny application that makes it easier to analyze and visualize transcriptome data and results.

In addition to the usual discussions within the presentations there was also time to exchange views on all statistical and pharmaceutical topics throughout the conference. In this context, attention was also drawn to a statistical YouTube channel, which we would like to share with you.

We are looking forward to participating in next year’s conference where we can hopefully meet the speakers and attendees in real life!

Data analysis, clinical biostatistics and more.

Christmas Party 2021 @ Staburo

Christmas Party 2021 @ Staburo

The Staburo Christmas Party followed the “tradition” of an online event for the second year in a row, but we made the best of the situation and had a very jolly time. As last year, the delivered food boxes contained a three-course menu, which was prepared by each participant after the year in review by Managing Director Dr. Josef Höfler.

The second highlight of the evening was an online crime game, with real actors! Some of the teams completed the challenge (solving a “Wine queen” kidnapping case), however the solution was quite difficult. The others unfortunately triggered a bomb which killed the “Wine queen” and destroyed most of the local wine production – not for the faint hearted!

As the last agenda item, we had a beer tasting with Managing Director Dr. Hannes Buchner. Each employee received a tasting set beforehand, including the famous hand crafted STABURATOR, plus Hacker-Pschorr Kellerbier, Giesinger Bräu Lemondrop and one Rammlerbräu Helles from former Staburoian Max Siebold!

We wish you relaxing Christmas holidays as well as health and happiness for the new year!
