An Introduction to the Division of Biomedical Informatics at UCSD
Biomedical Informatics is an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of biology, medicine, and quantitative sciences. We develop new methods to integrate and analyze vast amounts of data generated in the laboratory, clinical and translational research, clinical encounters, and population studies. Our goals:
excel in biomedical informatics research,
collaborate with biomedical researchers in developing new quantitative methods that enable the formulation and testing of original hypotheses,
train the next generation of biomedical informatics specialists, and
interface with engineering, mathematics, information and computer science communities, serving as a hub for quantitative scientists focused on biomedical research.
In close collaboration with the UCSD Medical Center and with several academic departments and research units, we are developing novel methods to integrate, query, mine, and interpret clinical and experimental data stemming from heterogeneous sources in a secure and privacy-preserving manner.
