Welcome message from THE President

Welcome to the Bay Area Biotech‑Pharma Statistics Workshop (BBSW). What began as a grassroots effort in 2018 has grown into a vibrant, community‑driven platform where professionals from statistics, data science, and related disciplines come together to exchange ideas, share experiences, and learn from one another. At BBSW, we believe that statistics and quantitative science play a central role in shaping the future of healthcare—from driving sound decision-making in complex, data rich environments to enabling innovation that ultimately benefits patients and society. Our mission is not only to foster technical excellence, but also to support professional development, leadership growth, and meaningful collaboration across industry, academia, nonprofits, and regulatory organizations. Whether you are a long‑time member or engaging with BBSW for the first time, we warmly invite you to participate, contribute, and help shape the next chapter of our community. Together, we can continue to amplify the voice and influence of statistical and quantitative science in advancing human health.
