BCBI research involves use of data, computing, and technology to advance biomedical discovery and healthcare delivery.

BCBI Research

The overarching research goals of BCBI are to develop, deploy, and evaluate computational and data science approaches to best use biomedical and health data for improving patient care. To this end, our research activities are a major application area for programs such as those within Brown’s Data Science Initiative (DSI).
