Biostatistics

Other offices within ODER may become involved in the review process via consults. Eor example, the Office of Epidemiology and Biostatistics analyzes statistical data, the Office of Research Resources provides bioavailabiHty reviews, and the Office of Compliance determines from the results of inspections whether the firms meet EDA s Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations. Advisory committees composed of independent experts are often asked to meet and further analyze the data. Often they also advise as to what additional data and information may be needed. After PDA s review is completed, PDA issues either a Summary Basis of Approval (SBA) for the dmg or a recommendation against approval. If approved, PDA releases the SBA and a summary of the safety and effectiveness data to the general pubHc.

Working on experimental data at Edgewood drew me relentlessly into a deepening vortex of mathematics and other abstract domains, such as electronic circuits. I would often visit the Biostatistics Office and talk to John Atkinson about his LGP-30 computer, and how I could learn to use it. It was a monstrous device, one end taking in long ribbons of paper punched with holes that told it what to do and the other end typing answers without fingers on another role of paper, like the tapes that activate a player piano.
