Data-driven solutions and approaches are receiving growing attention in biomedical and health science research. The accumulating large amount and diverse data require complex, interdisciplinary analysis.
Innovative Data-Driven Approaches in Healthcare
The aim of the Institute of Biostatistics and Network Sciences is to analyze the large amount of biomedical and health data gathered in healthcare institutions and systems, as well as through the Institute’s own data collection campaigns. We bring advanced mathematical and computational methodologies alongside traditional statistical analyses to help answer biomedical research questions, with a particular focus on computer vision, natural language processing, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, and network science.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Biomedical Research
Our Institute seeks to play an active role in promoting interdisciplinary cooperation. Our goal is to support the rapid and effective translation of innovative solutions shared by doctors, health professionals, biostatisticians, data and network scientists into healthcare practice.
An important objective of our institute is to emphasize in its portfolio its own applied data science and network science research topics in addition to its supporting role. Making it possible for our young researchers to obtain a doctoral degree and our senior researchers to compete successfully in national and international scientific grant applications.
Health Data Science Programs in English
Recognizing the growing demand for data-intensive approaches in biomedical science, our Institute aims to launch new programs in the field of health data science: new BSc and MSc programs in clinical and biomedical data science in English. In the proposed programs, students will not only learn the statistical, mathematical, and computational methodologies necessary for practicing data science, but also the biomedical and health science concepts and processes required for working collaboratively with medical doctors and health science professionals.
