About Us

Better Biostatistics was founded in 2024 by Robert “Bobbie” Rachford as a place for the Life Sciences Industry to find and partner with world-class biostatisticians and as a place for biostatisticians to find assistance and educational material related to biostatistics and consulting best practices.
Bobbie is a Biostatistician with a master’s degree in biostatistics from Washington University in St. Louis. He has served his entire career within the life sciences industry, primarily on the CRO side and having built a biometrics division (Biostatistics, Statistical Programming, and Data Management) from scratch for a midsize CRO without a biometrics division prior to starting Better Biostatistics.
At Better Biostatistics, we are driven by two core goals:

1.Empower Biostatisticians: We provide a collaborative space where biostatisticians can find meaningful work, sharpen their skills, grow professionally, and share knowledge with like-minded peers. We believe we are stronger together than we are alone.

2. Support Sponsors: We help sponsors connect with top-tier biostatisticians who are best suited to meet their unique needs, whether for study design, analysis, regulatory support, or long-term collaboration.

The strength of Better Biostatistics comes from the synergy between these goals. Because our platform attracts outstanding biostatisticians who are passionate about learning and growth, we’re able to offer our clients professionals who are not only highly skilled but deeply motivated to deliver their best work.
