About Us

The Computer Science, Biology and Biomedical Informatics (CoSBBI) Site, hosted by the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) and the Division of Pathology Informatics, provides a hands-on introduction to the application of software and computational techniques to clinical and research problems. Biomedical Informatics covers a wide range of topics including genomic and proteomic data mining, pharmacogenomics, image analysis, interface design, natural language processing, machine learning, and biosurveillance. CoSBBI students will participate in a crash-course in biomedical informatics, a computer programming boot camp, and intensive collaboration with a faculty mentor on an ongoing research project. Scholars will have the opportunity to submit their project abstracts for inclusion in a published paper describing the summer's activities, and to be considered for submission to the high school program at the annual meeting of the American Medical Informatics Association.
