The Biological and Medical Informatics (BMI) Graduate Program at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) equips PhD students with the skills and knowledge in applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, computer science, physics, chemistry, and biology needed to study biological composition, structure, function, and evolution at the molecular, cellular, and systems levels. Students are involved with gathering, storing, analyzing, predicting, and disseminating the corresponding information. The goal of the program is to train the next generation of biological and medical informatics researchers for academia and industry.

The program is set in an atmosphere of intense research collaboration and within a university known for its research accomplishments and interdisciplinary approach to discovery and education.
