About Michael Burak

I have worked for over 15 years in the pharmaceutical industry as both a biostatistician and a statistical SAS programmer. I started my consulting company, MPB Biostats Inc., in March 2014 where I work with biotech/pharma companies, other independent consultants, and CRO's. Before that I worked 4 years for 2 different biotech companies as a statistical SAS programmer (including successful NDA and BLA eCTD submissions). I also have 3.5 years of experience working for a CRO (with over a year of management experience). The main therapeutic and areas of interest I’ve worked with include depression, dermatology, gastrointestinal, immunology, medical devices, obesity, oncology, pain, and pharmacokinetics. I am a highly skilled biostatistician and SAS programmer in creating various types of tables, figures, and listings (TFLs) for efficacy and safety analyses. I have extensive experience creating and reviewing CDISC SDTM & ADaM regulatory submission packages including XPT datasets, annotated CRFs, define.xml, and each specific reviewer's guide.
