Section Chief's Welcome
Led by Robert L. Grossman, PhD, the Section of Biomedical Data Science provides an intellectual home for faculty whose research interests encompass biomedical data science (data science and its applications to biology, medicine and health care); computational biomedicine; and, biomedical informatics (bioinformatics, translational informatics, and clinical/medical informatics). Biomedical data science, computational biomedicine, and biomedical informatics are becoming increasingly important for making discoveries in the biological sciences, for improving medical care, and for supporting applications of AI to problems in biology, medicine and health care. Robert L. Grossman, PhD is the Frederick H. Rawson Distinguished Service Professor of Medicine and Computer Science and the Jim and Karen Krank Director of the Center for Translational Data Science (CTDS). His research focuses on AI, data science, and bioinformatics. Dr. Grossman is the PI of the NCI Genomics Data Commons (GDC), which is one of the largest collections of harmonized cancer genomics data in the world and has over 100,000 users each month.
