Welcome To Columbia DBMI

Located on the Columbia University Medical Center (CUIMC) campus, the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI) is both an academic department and an information services partner to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, a major healthcare provider in greater New York.

One of the oldest informatics departments in the nation, faculty and students at DBMI have set the path for design of clinical information systems, methodologies in clinical natural language processing, and machine learning over electronic health record data. Faculty research includes the development and evaluation of innovative information technologies, which has led to enhancements in both health and healthcare. 

Both faculty and students work in a highly collaborative environment, applying informatics from the atomic level to global populations. 

Our Values

Our department is committed to carrying out rigorous and reproducible science, encouraging creativity and diversity in thought, promoting an inclusive and supportive environment, and making an impact in training, informatics research, biomedicine, and patient care within NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, ColumbiaDoctors and beyond.

Columbia researchers and clinicians are studying how artificial intelligence can translate to better patient care. Columbia Medicine Magazine recently highlighted different leaders within Columbia DBMI and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital who are leading efforts to evaluate, accelerate and use AI-based technologies that will help doctors provide better, more personalized care.
