Background

Dr. Dampier brings more than 10 years of in-the-trenches biostatistics experience. He has worked with datasets ranging from dozens to millions of datapoints. Much of his research has been in collaboration with clinical and molecular researchers. This unique perspective bridges the gap between statistical theory and practical biological applications, helping students understand not just how to perform statistical analyses, but why certain approaches are most appropriate for biological data.

Teaching Philosophy

This textbook represents Dr. Dampier’s commitment to making statistical concepts accessible and relevant to life sciences students. By grounding every statistical concept in authentic biological contexts, he helps students develop both technical skills and the critical thinking necessary for rigorous scientific research.
