Biomedical and Health Informatics Colloquia

UIC has a diverse and robust health informatics teaching and research portfolio, but there is often an overall lack of awareness of other researchers working in health informatics as well as resources and sources of collaboration. The purpose of the colloquia is two-fold: to provide a forum for presenting current & ongoing research and to help connect researchers with one another. Monthly meetings are generally structured such that the first half of the meeting features a presentation of actual or proposed research UIC, and the second half of the meeting is to explore opportunities for collaboration through future grant funding. Because informatics is so extraordinarily broad and diverse, the colloquia aims to help researchers at UIC keep a pulse on activities outside of their immediate research interest and help to spur additional collaborations.

The colloquia usually occurs on the last Monday of the month during the Academic Calendar year at noon in Room 5175 COMRB (909 S. Wolcott). For more information, contact Andrew Boyd at boyda@uic.edu
