MU Biomedical Informatics Research Training Program

生物医学信息学跨越了生命科学的许多领域中必不可少的研究领域 医疗保健。对这一领域训练有素的研究科学家的需求正在爆炸式增长，尽管确实存在 在需要独立研究和开发信息学工具的同时，也越来越重视 跨学科研究，其中生物医学信息学家发挥核心作用。我们提出了一项合并的预审 准备研究的博士(6个职位)和博士后(6个职位)研究培训计划 研究员将成为学术和研究生物医学信息学社区的领导者和有价值的 跨学科生物医学研究问题的贡献者。 密苏里大学生物医学信息学研究培训(BIRT)项目的目标是- 哥伦比亚大学(MU)将在信息学理论和方法的基础上提供强大的基础培训 生物和计算科学的基础知识，并让研究人员做好准备 在生命科学、医疗保健、生物信息学和计算领域的重要问题上发挥领导作用 生物学。 MU在生物医学信息学研究培训方面有很强的历史，但最近实施了一项 有计划地扩展信息学资源，我们的校园研究社区现在比 成为生物医学信息学研究培训的领导者，并进一步加强生命科学和 医疗保健研究。墨尔本大学信息学研究所(MU)的成立汇集了生物医学： 来自校园的信息学研究人员，充分整合了2个强大系的师资资源， 计算机科学、健康管理和信息学，并提供了一种利用 丰富的资源。MUII将管理信息学博士项目以及多学科 信息学研究人员和研究实习生。

Biomedical informatics spans a research space essential in a number of areas of life sciences and healthcare. The demand for well-trained research scientists in this area is exploding, although there is real need for independent research and informatics tool development, there is also an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary research, where biomedical informaticians play a central role. We propose a combined pre- doctoral (6 positions) and post-doctoral (6 positions) research training program that prepares research fellows to become leaders in the academic and research biomedical informatics community and valuable contributors to interdisciplinary biomedical research problems. The goal of the biomedical informatics research training (BIRT) program at the University of Missouri- Columbia (MU) is to provide strong foundational training in informatics theory and methodology, build upon the fundamentals of biological and computational sciences, and prepare research fellows to assume leadership roles working on important problems in life scienes, healthcare, bioinformatics, and computational biology. MU has a strong history of biomedical informatics research training, but with implementaion of a recent planned expansion of informatics resources, our campus research community is now better positioned than ever before to be leaders in biomedical informatics research training and further strengthen life sciences and healthcare research. The creation of the MU Informatics Institute (MUM) brings together biomedical : informatics researchersfrom the campus, fully integrates faculty resources of 2 strong departments, Computer Science and Health Management and Informatics, and provides a structure for leveraging outstanding resources. The MUII will manage the PhD in Informatics program, as well as multidiscipliriary informatics research faculty and research trainees.
