The Division of Educational Informatics which develops and deploys informatics technology in support of medical education.

Development and deployment of information retrieval models through the Evidence Based Medicine Information Retrieval and Scientometrics Lab and the Library-Informatics Collaborative in support of scanning the WWW and bibliographic databases for content and quality, as well as analysis of citation patterns, and quantitative modeling of research behavior. Also design and deployment of novel ways to find researchers for a variety of purposes (research, education, health care).

Data storage, management, integration and mining including:

• Use of the new Electronic Medical Record for research purposes;
• Design, acquisition and deployment of a Federated Data Warehouse;
• Clinical trial and other clinical research protocol-supporting data management systems;
• Database management services;
• Biorepository specimen and data management and integration;
• Enterprise-wide data mining software and services;
• Laboratory Information Management Systems for high-throughput assay core project management and integration with the EMR.

High-Performance Computing Facility (HPCF) dedicated to the NYU Medical Center.

Biomedical Informatics Core of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute

Development of novel methods through faculty initiated research, collaborative work and through dedicated methods informatics labs:

• Kluger lab
• Molecular Signatures Lab
• Computational Causal Discovery Lab
• Evidence Based Medicine Information Retrieval and Scientometrics Lab

Continuing education on informatics methods and development:

• Research colloquium series
• Invited speaker series
• Seminars and Tutorials

Development of a MS/PhD graduate program in Biomedical Informatics

Finally the Informatics Center is entrusted with the responsibility to coalesce and coordinate all professional informatics faculty, advice the institution about professional standards for informatics faculty and staff career development, and mentor informatics faculty.

Assay, disease, and center-specific bioinformatics such as:

• Next-generation Sequencing Informatics
• Microarray Informatics
• Proteomics Informatics
• Genetics-genomics Informatics
• Cancer Informatics
• Centers of Excellence
• Multi-modal & Integrative Studies

The Best Practices Integrative Informatics Consultation service (BPIC). The mission of BPIC is to advise researchers about and to undertake all aspects of informatics research design and study execution. BPIC’s mission also includes reviews and synthesis of the literature and conducting large-scale benchmarking of a wide array of methods in order to base advice to researchers on solid evidence. BPIC also aims to efficiently connect methods developers with methods consumers.
