Biomedical Data Science Initiative

BDSI Community

The Biomedical Data Science Initiative at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai brings together research and education to advance precision medicine through computing and big data analytics. From individual diagnostic tests to large-scale epidemiologic studies, the field of medicine involves the collection of a staggering amount of data. The Initiative explores strategies to mine this abundance of information to deepen our understanding of human biology and help all patients achieve optimal health.

Harnessing big data could be the key to returning a child with cancer to health or sparing a grandmother with Alzheimer’s disease from heartbreaking decline. In addition to our research, the Initiative ushers in the next generation of biomedical data scientists to tackle these challenges and more through our biomedical data programs. We offer a Master of Science in Biomedical Science program and Genetics and Genomic Sciences multidisciplinary training area within our PhD in Biomedical Science program, both designed to equip students with the skills to advance the fields of computing and big data analytics. The Initiative comprises a network of superb educators and investigators with expertise across:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Biostatistics, Clinical Epidemiology, and Clinical Trials
  • Computational Biophysics and Systems Pharmacology
  • Computational Genomics
  • Environmental Medicine and Public Health
  • Health Information Technology
  • Health System Design
  • Imaging and Visualization
