US News & World Report ranked Stanford #1 for graduate training in biological sciences and computer science. In addition to excellent ratings in individual departments, Stanford was ranked #1 in "Genetics, Genomics, Bioinformatics." The BMI training program covers not just bioinformatics but all of biomedical informatics, but US News does not separate out this discipline. We are happy and grateful that our efforts in bioinformatics are recognized by our peers.

The mission of the Biomedical Informatics program is to train the next generation of researchers in biomedical informatics. Our students gain a knowledge of the scholarly informatics literature and the application requirements of specific areas within biology and/or medicine. They learn to design and implement novel methods that generalize to a defined class of problems--focusing on the acquisition, representation, retrieval, and analysis of biomedical data and knowledge. The BMI training program encompasses bioinformatics, clinical informatics, and public health informatics. Bioinformatics focuses on methods for relevant to basic biology. Clinical informatics focuses on methods relevant to patient care. Public health informatics focuses on methods relevant to entire health systems. Examples from these areas can be found in the list of interests of our participating faculty. |
