About Us

Our new Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) bridges the gap between data and medicine through the computational analysis and comprehension of biomedical data. Through impactful research and teachings, our faculty and researchers will not only provide a supportive academic home for generations of faculty to come, but we will ultimately transform the most basic molecular biology into the most advanced health care methods and applications that will fundamentally alter how data is used nationwide.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are integral to enhancing science and innovation, and we are committed to creating inclusive research environments and deploying AI algorithms that advance equity and reduce health care disparities.

Mission Statement

The Department of Biomedical Informatics uses computation to advance biomedicine and improve healthcare through insightful and ethical data-driven discovery and the creation of innovative methods and applications.

Vision

The vision of the Department of Biomedical Informatics is to integrate informatics innovations throughout biomedicine to enhance healthcare. Our basic, clinical, and translational scientists and researchers in the department will develop new methods and applications of computational technology, integrate computational with laboratory investigations, and translate findings to patient care. We will train the next generation of biological and clinical informaticists who will contribute to a diverse biomedical workforce, while supporting CU Anschutz Medical Campus initiatives in research, clinical, and other domains of informatics.
