Informatics is the study of information: how you collect it, how you organize it and how you use it to solve problems. Health & Biomedical Informatics is informatics applied to healthcare and biomedical research. Our investigations address questions ranging from the molecular scale (bioinformatics) through the patient scale (clinical informatics) to whole populations (public health informatics).

Increasingly, both healthcare and biomedical research are data-driven activities. Our goal is to not only accelerate discoveries from that data, but also to use the knowledge gained to improve the health of our patients.”
