Our newsroom dives into how DBMI is revolutionizing care
At the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI), we’re revolutionizing care where it matters most: at the bedside.
We’re an academic home for a community of experts who leverage data, machine learning, and genomics to turn basic science into new therapies and tailored treatments to empower providers with insights that enable them to deliver patients the exact care they need.
Our partnerships with the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, UC Health, and Children’s Hospital Colorado empower us to make a real-world impact right here in our community. We’re not just making strides locally—we’re teaming up with researchers, universities, and health systems worldwide to tackle healthcare’s toughest challenges. Together, we translate research into practical solutions that directly impact patient outcomes.
Pediatric sepsis takes the lives of approximately 3.3 million children each year. In January, the diagnostic criteria for sepsis in children received its first update in two decades when a University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus-led international research team unveiled a novel, data-driven system for diagnosis.
At DBMI, we are champions of innovation and creativity and encourage exploring new methods across our operations. AI enables our students to think critically, challenge their beliefs, and streamline routine tasks, freeing them to concentrate on their work's most creative and analytical aspects. The Graduate School at CU Anschutz and DBMI are dedicated to educating and empowering the next generation of researchers, scientists, nurses, and other medical professionals.

Community Working Together to Solve Healthcare's Toughest Challenges
Genomics & Omics
With the CCPM biobank, we integrate electronic health records (EHRs) with omics and genetic data to enhance patient care and clinical decision-making. Our experts develop clinical decision support tools that provide real-time insights based on this integrated data, helping clinicians make informed choices.
AI/ML
By developing foundational technologies and conducting cutting-edge research in natural language processing (NLP) with innovative artificial intelligence (AI), our team is dedicated to creating powerful tools that tackle critical healthcare challenges and integrate seamlessly into healthcare systems.
Clinical Informatics
We use information technology and data effectively to improve patient care and health outcomes. It involves collecting, analyzing, and managing health information, integrating clinical data with healthcare processes to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, and support clinical research.
Bridging the Gap Between Data and Patient Care
Whether you’re looking to pursue a master's or doctoral program or build your knowledge and skills through a training program, we have something that fits your goals.
These labs solve some of healthcare’s most significant challenges in genomics, disease, and clinical informatics.
