Biomedical Informatics Research
Biomedical informatics is an interdisciplinary research field that requires collaboration among computer scientists, cognitive, social and decision scientists engineers, mathematicians, biologists and clinicians to advance information technology, data and knowledge management and analysis methodologies, and computational and informatics tools to improve our understanding of health care practice, public health and of biological systems. The ultimate goal of the research is to enhance patient care and human health in general, by expediting the process of transferring basic biomedical research to clinical use effectively and safely. Analysis/cognitive modeling of human behavior in the real-world health care environment, mathematical modeling of population health, analysis of human-computer interaction and computational modeling of living systems all play important role in these cross-disciplinary research activities.
