Explore BMIR
At BMIR we develop computational methods for biomedical discovery that influence medical decisions.
Our faculty, students, and staff investigate and create novel computational, statistical, and decision-making methods to handle the ever increasing amounts of data in healthcare and biomedical research. See our People page for contact information.
Learn more about the cutting-edge ways we are advancing technology and biomedicine to improve human health.
Our state of the art research advances patient care by improving semantic technology, biostatistics, and the modeling of biomedical systems. Read more about our research labs.
Join us for our weekly research talks featuring world-renowned scientists, faculty, staff, and students.
BMIR Colloquia and Research in Progress talks occur on Thursdays from 12-1 PM during the academic year in Medical School Office Building room X275, 1265 Welch Road, Stanford, CA. See schedule.

BMIR: WHO WE ARE
At the Stanford Center for Biomedical Research (BMIR) we develop cutting-edge ways to acquire, represent, and process information about human health. Our work enables the Institute of Medicine’s vision for a Learning Health System by translating biomedical data into actionable insights for decision making. Our research advances the state of the art in semantic technology, biostatistics, and the modeling of biomedical systems to benefit clinical and translational research as well as patient care.
