The grant will focus on biomedical informatics and data science, including how artificial intelligence and machine learning can be used in healthcare and biomedicine. The program is one of 18 nationwide.

“Our training program puts emphasis on quantitative methods and data science,” program director Lydia Kavraki stated in an Aug. 22 university news release. “I cannot imagine dealing with biomedical problems in the future without strong foundations in computer science, statistics and data science.”

The funding will support eight PhD students and five postdoctoral fellows annually for five years.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
