Stritch - Center for Biomedical Informatics
Center for Biomedical Informatics
The Center for Biomedical Informatics collaborates with biomedical scientists to develop computational solutions for their research projects. Our style is to become an integral part of each project, actively engaging in experimental design, data analysis, publication, and grant writing. Contact us if you would like to collaborate on any biomedical informatics projects.
We also offer BMB490 (Machine Learning for Molecular Biologists) for graduate students at Loyola every Spring semester.
