Biomedical and health informatics

Dr. Isabelle Bichindaritz, an associate professor of biomedical informatics and director of biomedical informatics programs, was part of a team that made a breakthrough that can increase the odds of surviving breast cancer.

Three faculty members earned campus awards recognizing outstanding achievements in scholarly and creative activities.

Healthcare in the digital era—telemedicine, big data, decision analytics, computer networks integrating patient and caregiver information, and more—has led to the launch of SUNY Oswego’s newly approved graduate degree in biomedical and health informatics.

This fall, a new “Big Data, Genes and Medicine” course will represent Oswego’s pilot project in the evolving world of mass open online courses (MOOCs) while preparing learners for an in-demand job field.

The new SUNY Labs to Jobs Consortium will establish a “Smart Health” Biomedical and Health Informatics Research Lab and a Biomedical Instrumentation Teaching Lab for SUNY Oswego as well as provide additional equipment for the college’s Advanced Wireless Systems Research Center.

The college has earned three SUNY High Needs grants totaling $197,000 to expand programs in human development, health services administration, and biomedical and health informatics.
