Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics

The Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics is home to internationally-recognized faculty engaged in both collaborative and methodological research who flourish in the university’s deep culture of collaborative interdisciplinary science. Faculty areas of expertise include biostatistics applied to pre-clinical, clinical and population health research; biomedical and clinical informatics; and statistical genetics and genomics.
The Department maintains strong ties to the world-class Departments of Statistics and of Computer Sciences at UW-Madison, through which most graduate students are trained. Many of our faculty members have joint or affiliate appointments with these Departments, as well as with Departments or Schools of Population Health Sciences, Business, Educational Sciences, and Animal and Life Sciences.
