Welcome

Biomedical informatics (BMI) is an interdisciplinary field that combines knowledge of information sciences and medical sciences to optimize use and application of biomedical data across the spectrum - from molecules to individuals to populations. 

Students with a major of study in areas such as biology, mathematics, computer science, engineering, bioengineering, chemistry, or statistics are well positioned to enter the new field of biomedical informatics. Researchers in this field use computational approaches to help solve the most pressing health problems.

PhD Program

Our four-year PhD program offers rigorous coursework that combines core courses and electives tailored to prepare students for their dissertation research in one of two tracks, either bioinformatics or clinical informatics. Students with backgrounds in math, biology, computer science, engineering, bioengineering, statistics or other related fields are encouraged to apply. 

• APPLICATION DEADLINES:
• December 1 (non-binding early action)
• February 15 (general admission)
