Staburo @ Statistical Colloquium of FU Berlin

Staburo Managing Director Hannes Buchner will give a talk about “Applied Biomarker analyses in drug development. Lasso, random forest, longitudinal biomarker analyses” at the colloquium “Statistische Methoden in der empirischen Forschung” (“Statistical methods in empirical research”) at the Freie Universität Berlin on February 14, 2023.

The presentation is a collaboration of our Staburo employees Laura Schlieker, Armin Ott, Stephan Bischofberger and Gabriele Bleckert and will provide insight into how random forests, LASSO and IPF-LASSO (Integrated LASSO with Penalty Factors) can be applied to investigate the prognostic and predictive potential of high dimensional biomarker data by using training and test data principles, subsampling methods and permutation concepts. In addition, the application of mixed models with repeated measurements and the concept of sliding regression for analyses of longitudinal biomarker data and their pharmacodynamic features will be addressed.

At the colloquium, which is organised by a committee of members of various institutions and companies, such as Pfizer, Bayer, Parexel and Cytel, speakers from academia and industry present current topics in biostatistics, medicine, epidemiology, agriculture, or other fields of application once a week. It is open to the public and all those interested in empirical research and statistical research are welcome to attend in person or virtually! More information can be found on the institute’s website.

We look forward to numerous listeners and to welcome you within the audience!

Photoshooting @ Staburo

After we published our new company logo recently, it was also time for an update of our company pictures, which were taken by a professional photographer.

Since Staburo is continuously growing and the management team became bigger, we are very proud to also represent this on our website. In addition to our three founders and Managing Directors (Höfler, Stieger, Buchner), we do have two heads and six directors, who we are very happy to be in the spotlight since their designation.

Therefore, we also started a mini-series about each new management team member in our news section (available direct links: Bentink, Böhm, Esmaeili, Frank, Herich, Husfeld, Roy, Schlieker).

Additionally, our office spaces have been filled with more life, i.e., new furniture, plants, and colors over the last months.

We are very happy to share the new pictures of our entire management team and give you an impression of the atmosphere in our office. We hope you enjoy exploring our new pictures and our updated website!
