About Biomedical Informatics & Data Science

BIDS works with scientists exploring fundamental biological principles and physician-scientists implementing interventions that promote health for all. It leads new studies and data collection initiatives; builds new algorithms and tools; is the nexus of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine at Yale; shares meaningful, privacy-preserving digital objects (data, code, processes); trains next generation leaders; and disseminates lessons learned globally.

Our Vision

  • Informatics Against Disparities

    No one will be left out.
  • Informatics for all

    Developing new methods and tools that allow genetic findings to be applicable to all.
  • Bringing together computational biology and clinical informatics

    Combining genetic, social, and environmental factors to predict disease.

The Hub for Biomedical Collaboration

Biomedical Informatics and Data Science serves as the hub for biomedical collaboration:

  • It brings informatics to the clinic and the bedside
  • Creates new approaches to the analysis of big data across the biomedical research spectrum from basic genetic, proteomic, cellular, and systems biology to the understanding of the social determinants of health
  • Promotes collaborations in data science and AI
