Biostatistics Unit was established as a part of the Faculty of Livestock Fisheries & Nutrition in the year 2013. The unit caters to students from both B. Sc. Food Science & Nutrition and Food Production & Technology Management degree programmes offering <\/span>basic as well as advanced course modules<\/span> related to Statistics, Mathematics & Agronomy. <\/span>These course modules provide knowledge on fundamental principles & enable students to develop their analytical skills in statistics and mathematics. <\/span>Biostatistics Unit<\/span> is also offering course modules to <\/span>cover the basic scientific<\/span> principles of agriculture & agronomical aspects with the view of increasing food production and food security.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Students from both degree programmes who wish to gain sound experience on statistical applications in food production systems, processes & technology have opportunities to conduct their research in <\/span>Biostatistics & Agronomy in collaboration with other departments in the faculty as well as with recognized outside institutions. <\/span>The <\/span>unit also offers services\/course modules\/workshops on experimental design & planning to help students at the final year for successful planning, implementing & completing their undergraduate research projects.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Currently the main research and development efforts in the Biostatistics unit is in collaboration with outside institutions & the departments of the faculty on Pattern Recognition & Image Processing for complex biological processes using Artificial Neural Networks, Trend Analysis in different food production systems, investigating the potential impacts of climate change on national food security & implications of environmental pollution on human health.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_button button_text=”Research” button_alignment=”right” _builder_version=”4.0.6″][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/flfn.wyb.ac.lk\/?page_id=552#biost” button_text=”People” button_alignment=”right” _builder_version=”4.0.6″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Biostatistics Unit Biostatistics Unit was established as a part of the Faculty of Livestock Fisheries & Nutrition in the year 2013.
