Why Join Us:
The Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) at the University of Colorado School of Medicine offers a mature campus-integrated environment for translating complex data to the point of care. DBMI is the academic home for over 30 tenure-track faculty who use genome-scale biology multiscale modeling mathematical physiology simulation machine learning artificial intelligence human-computer interaction data integration and mathematical and predictive analytics to marry disparate but related aspects of the campuss clinical and research portfolios. Faculty in DBMI are supported by departmental investments in research administration business operations software engineering and grant and scientific writing teams. The department has established promotion and tenure expectations that recognize real-world impact through multiple paths including developing new technologies informatics operations requiring independent intellectual contributions and publication of original research.
The Anschutz Medical Campus includes a vibrant and entrepreneurial research community with multiple areas of excellence and translational impact. There are many opportunities on campus to translate data-intensive research advances into improved care. The DBMI is co-located on the Anschutz Medical Campus with the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital Childrens Hospital Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. DBMI enjoys collaborations with numerous centers and units on campus. For example the CU Anschutz Center for Combat Medicine and Battlefield (COMBAT) Research has been created to solve the U.S. militarys toughest medical challenges by leading high-impact research education and innovation turning military medical research gains into better health care for all. The Anschutz Campus is home to Colorados only NIH-supported Comprehensive Cancer Center (the University of Colorado Cancer Center) and Clinical and Translational Science Award hub (the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute CCTSI). The Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine houses the regions largest biobank which is one of the nations largest academic biobanks. Research into womens health and sex differences is a key theme in the department that enjoys strong connections with the Ludeman Family Center for Womens Health Research. The campus has invested significantly in an enterprise health data warehouse collecting electronic health record data from 15 hospitals and dozens of clinics for research. This warehouse integrates electronic health record data for millions of active patients more than 800 clinics and state and national public health databases for research.
The availability of health records for research through Health Data Compass large-scale biobanking and genomics through the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine and close collaboration with the University of Colorado Cancer Center provide ideal positioning. This setting is complemented by translational support from the CCTSI enabling studies that move from protocol to implementation on clinically meaningful timelines and at scale. The strong connections between CU and UCHealth and Childrens Hospital Colorado provide ideal conditions to identify problems of clinical and operational importance develop solutions and translate them to practice. Faculty benefit from adult and pediatric clinical partnerships. The result is a setting where rigorous science can make measurable near-term contributions to clinical care while advancing the broader field of biomedical informatics.
