The Master of Medical Sciences in Biomedical Informatics (MMSc-BMI) program will train students to contribute to the rapidly evolving use of biomedical data for revolutionary advances in scientific inquiry and technological development. This program is created for students who are looking to develop skills in data science in the context of medicine and biological science to improve human health. Through a rigorous combination of core coursework and a year-long full-time thesis research project, our students will graduate with the computational, methodological, and data science skills to contribute to an ongoing revolution in biomedical discovery.

The Master’s Research Thesis provides students with the opportunity to commit a year to full-time research in the lab of their faculty research advisor. Students select their research advisor in consultation with the program, design a proposal, and conduct their research with regular milestones and check-ins with a thesis committee. At the end of the second year in the program, students defend their thesis work to their committee, program, and peers.

The MMSc in Biomedical Informatics program is a full-time, residential program completed over two academic years (4 semesters) of study.
