McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics Dean Jiajie Zhang, PhD

Message from the Dean

With the ever-increasing rise in the volume of health data and the innovation and evolution of technology comes a growth in possibilities—for more effective treatments, timely and efficient care, safer procedures, and countless other improvements. As the only free-standing school of its kind in the nation, McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics is dedicated to turning these possibilities into realities.

Today, our research is mining the mysteries of health care data; it’s developing the algorithms that bring artificial intelligence to life; it’s uncovering the genetic basis of cancer and chronic diseases; it’s supporting patients with digital tools in their communities. Tomorrow, our work will become tools to support disease prevention, improve early detection, and develop treatments that lead to longer, healthier lives for all.

Philanthropy advances vital work in this rapidly changing field—from supporting the next generation of trainees to expanding the frontiers of patient safety, health care quality, artificial intelligence, telemedicine, data security, drug discovery, and precision medicine.
