The academic year is about to begin at the IU School of Informatics and Computing, Indianapolis, and the BHIRC is busy getting ready for its first year of operation. The groundwork has been laid for us to provide leading edge informatics solutions to the central Indiana health and bioscience ecosystem. In light of the shortage of local informatics resources, there has been substantial interest in getting our faculty and graduate students involved with a number of initiatives in both industry and non-profits. As you think about your needs, please don’t hesitate to contact the BHIRC to see how we can help.
