The Center for Research Informatics provides computational resources and expertise in biomedical informatics for researchers in the Biological Sciences Division (BSD) of the University of Chicago. The CRI is directed by Samuel Volchenboum, MD, PhD, and was created in 2011 with a charge from the BSD Dean and the Dean for Research & Graduate Education.
The Bioinformatics Core at the Center for Research Informatics offers services and expertise designed to allow BSD investigators to take full advantage of available high-throughput technologies.
The CRI also provides a home for biomedical informatics research and educational initiatives; supports and coordinates cross-departmental research initiatives and activities; and advocates for biomedical informatics. These activities are supported in part by the Institute for Translational Medicine.
