At the HUNT Center for Molecular and Clinical Epidemiology (HUNT MCE) we use population studies to investigate how biology, lifestyle, and environment affect health and disease development. An overarching goal is to develop better prevention and treatment strategies, by studying genetic and environmental causes of disease, disease progression and prediction, and treatment effects. The center is multidisciplinary, and we use research methods within genetic, molecular, and clinical epidemiology to study a wide range of disease and health conditions.

Advisory service in statistics

The statisticians at HUNT MCE offer guidance in statistics to employees and students at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at NTNU and researchers in the Central Norway Regional Health Authority. We give advice on study design, sample size calculations, choice of statistical methods, and use of statistical software. Inquires to the advisory service can serve as basis for long-term research collaboration where one of our statisticians joins as active collaborator or (co-)supervisor.

Students with questions related to their master’s thesis should submit the inquiry in consultation with their supervisor.
