I am going to pursue a PhD in Statistics, and the two fields that I am really interested are Statistical Computing / Computational Statistics and Clinical Trials (mainly because I like doing Statistical Computing on R, and also I am interested in helping those people who are in need for medical treatment).
Is it possible to do a research that combines Statistical Computing with Clinical Trials? If yes, what are the examples of the Statistical research that has been done that relates Statistical Computing with Clinical Trials? I don't know if such is possible, because I know very little about Clinical Trials or its relationship with Statistical Computing, if there is any.
Thank you,
