As part of the School of Medicine’s strategic reorganization, we are announcing that, as of March 31, 2025, the Division of Bioinformatics and Computational Biomedicine (BCB) and its parent department, the Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology (DMICE) no longer exist as a standalone entity. DMICE is now fully integrated into the Department of Medicine as the Division of Informatics, Clinical Epidemiology and Translational Data Science (DICE) reflecting OHSU’s commitment to evolving with the times and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.

This integration aligns with OHSU’s strategic vision to advance science and optimize health worldwide through innovation and partnership. By embedding DMICE within the broader Department of Medicine, we aim to enhance our focus on data science and biomedical informatics, creating new opportunities for impactful research and education.
While organizational structures may change, our faculty remain steadfast in their dedication to advancing our educational and research missions. We will continue to train future leaders in biomedical informatics and computational biomedicine while driving discovery in health data science. This transition represents an exciting opportunity to deepen collaboration across disciplines and strengthen our collective impact on improving human health.

We thank our community for their continued support as we embrace this change and look forward to building an integrated future together.

The KCVI Epigenetics Consortium is pleased to offer the first OHSU Epigenetics Symposium. We are excited to host two keynote speakers: Dr. Marisa Bartolomei (University of Pennsylvania) and Dr. Joe Ecker (UC San Diego).

The program will include talks from investigators whose research focuses on epigenetics and posters from graduate students, postdocs, and research staff. A reception will follow. We hope to see you there!

Fantastic highlight of the work of OHSU Bioinformatics and Computational Biology faculty Dr. Michael Mooney and colleagues ! Neuroimaging studies of ADHD have been hindered by small sample sizes, small effects, and differences among study methods. They demonstrate that an ADHD polyneuro risk score (PNRS), representing brain-wide connectivity patterns, was robustly associated with ADHD symptoms in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study and the Oregon-ADHD-1000 cohort. The findings highlight the promise of approaches examining cumulative, brain-wide effects, and the importance of using large samples for improving reproducibility of neuroimaging studies.

Register for an Upcoming Free Virtual Workshop: The Importance of EHR Data in Clinical Care and Research

The Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) is hosting a workshop where we will bring together scientific stakeholders and leaders from academia, government, industry, and advocacy to gain a common understanding of the current issues and opportunities related to electronic health record (EHR) extraction in childhood cancer research. These insights will help drive future CCDI EHR activities.

During the event, you will have the opportunity to listen to the panel discussions and submit questions for panelists.

The Importance of EHR Data in Clinical Care and Research
Date: Wednesday, November 2, 2022
Time: 10:00am–3:30pm

This event is open to the public and free to attend, but registration is required to obtain the event link. Register at: https://events.cancer.gov/nci/ccdi?cid=eb_govdel_ccdi_events

Today Thursday 4/28 at 11:30 am PT OHSU BCB faculty and National Microbiome Data Collaborative ambassador Dr. Lisa Karstens presents an online seminar "Introduction to Urobiome Metadata Standards".
It will provide an overview about metadata standards for microbiome research with a focus on the human urinary microbiome (urobiome). This presentation will also serve as a primer for the upcoming hands-on urobiome metadata workshop, scheduled for May 11, 2022 at 8 am PT / 11 am ET. This is open to all interested in learning about metadata standards for human microbiome research. The presentation will be recorded and available on the OHSU informatics You Tube channel
