This branch supports bioinformatics and computational approaches that join biology with the computer sciences, engineering, mathematics, biostatistics and physics as well as general approaches that have the potential for broad applicability and usage by investigators with support from across NIH and other agencies. The branch also leads the NIH Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative (BISTI) and collaborates with other parts of NIH on the Big Data to Knowledge initiative as well as with the National Science Foundation to support a program in mathematical biology.
BISTI is a consortium of representatives from each of the NIH institutes and centers that works to make optimal use of computer science and technology to address problems in biology and medicine by fostering new basic understandings, collaborations and transdisciplinary initiatives between the computational and biomedical sciences.
