Mission
The mission of the Biomedical Informatics and Computational Biology (BICB) program is to conduct research and provide education through the establishment of academic and research programs. All BICB academic and research programs are established between the University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR) and University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMTC) with collaboration from Mayo Clinic, IBM, and Hormel Institute. Initially, an interdisciplinary, all-University graduate program in biomedical informatics and computational biology will be established.

Program Background
BICB was established as a result of legislative funding and support driven by the recommendations of the Governor of Minnesota’s appointed Rochester Higher Education Development Committee (RHEDC). The committee recommended the collaborative development of an institution that focuses on health science, bioscience, engineering, and technology. This institution is the University of Minnesota Rochester.
