Coordinating and Conducting Data Science Research in the Life Sciences

We are a university-wide, faculty-driven program to conduct research and create educational resources, expertise, and opportunities in data sciences for application in the life sciences. We work in multiple STEM disciplines — mathematics, statistics, computer science and engineering, bioinformatics, biological systems engineering, electrical engineering – to establish cross-campus linkages. These linkages enable transdisciplinary research, training and consulting with partners in the life sciences from academia, industry, and government.
