Biomedical Informatics
The Biomedical Informatics Department uses computational tools to analyze and integrate large data sets collected from clinical sites and other basic science departments. The focus of this work is to identify and understand patterns within the data sets that can be used to improve human health. Biomedical scientists expand the boundaries of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models to aid in their quest for using and understanding complex data. The research within this department is at the forefront of developing and applying new tools to solve current medical questions and develop models to enhance our understanding for the advancement of medicine far into the future.
What types of data sets do you use every day to navigate the world?For example, maybe you’re headed to the Rockies game and you use a weather app to help you figure out what to wear and GoogleMaps to figure out how long it will take you to drive downtown and a parking app to pay for parking? To do all these tasks, you integrated data sets from multiple sites just like the scientists in biomedical informatics!
