OHSU Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

As part of the School of Medicine’s strategic reorganization, we are announcing that, as of March 31, 2025, the Division of Bioinformatics and Computational Biomedicine (BCB) and its parent department, the Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology (DMICE) no longer exist as a standalone entity. DMICE is now fully integrated into the Department of Medicine as the Division of Informatics, Clinical Epidemiology and Translational Data Science (DICE) reflecting OHSU’s commitment to evolving with the times and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.

This integration aligns with OHSU’s strategic vision to advance science and optimize health worldwide through innovation and partnership. By embedding DMICE within the broader Department of Medicine, we aim to enhance our focus on data science and biomedical informatics, creating new opportunities for impactful research and education.
While organizational structures may change, our faculty remain steadfast in their dedication to advancing our educational and research missions. We will continue to train future leaders in biomedical informatics and computational biomedicine while driving discovery in health data science. This transition represents an exciting opportunity to deepen collaboration across disciplines and strengthen our collective impact on improving human health.

We thank our community for their continued support as we embrace this change and look forward to building an integrated future together.

Register for an Upcoming Free Virtual Workshop: The Importance of EHR Data in Clinical Care and Research

The Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) is hosting a workshop where we will bring together scientific stakeholders and leaders from academia, government, industry, and advocacy to gain a common understanding of the current issues and opportunities related to electronic health record (EHR) extraction in childhood cancer research. These insights will help drive future CCDI EHR activities.

During the event, you will have the opportunity to listen to the panel discussions and submit questions for panelists.
