Biomedical Informatics and Computational Biology

World-Class Resources, World-Changing Programs

Computation is the vanguard of today’s biomedical research. UMR’s Biomedical Informatics and Computational Biology (BICB) program is the vanguard of biomedical computation. We combine the strengths and skills of five internationally renowned partners - University of Minnesota Rochester, Mayo Clinic, IBM, The Hormel Institute, and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities - to create a one-of-a-kind opportunity for research and graduate education at the intersection of quantitative sciences, biology, and medicine.
