Education At CU
At the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI), we are dedicated to fostering the development of the next generation of leaders in biological and clinical informatics. These emerging experts will play a pivotal role in advancing a diverse and inclusive biomedical workforce that will drive innovation across a range of fields, from cutting-edge research to clinical care, and other essential areas of informatics.
Our faculty members are deeply engaged in training programs across the University of Colorado campuses, bringing together an unparalleled level of expertise and experience. They are recognized as some of the most dynamic and influential thought leaders in the global biomedical informatics community.
DBMI is proud to provide a unique, interdisciplinary learning environment where trainees, drawn from more than ten diverse programs across the University of Colorado, receive comprehensive, hands-on training and mentorship to prepare them for impactful careers in this rapidly evolving field.
Meet Hayley Wolff, PhD, graduate of the Human Medical Genetics and Genomics PhD Program.
"As a student in the Human Medical Genetics and Genomics PhD Program, I improved and developed skills in statistical programming and software development, statistical method development, project management, mentoring, scientific writing and presentation, and data visualization.”
