Stanford Medicine

WHO WE ARE A leader in the biomedical revolution, Stanford Medicine has a long tradition of leadership in pioneering research, creative teaching protocols and effective clinical therapies. Our close proximity to the resources of the university — including the Schools of Business, Law, Humanities and Sciences, and Engineering, our seamless relationship with our affiliated adult and children’s hospitals, and our ongoing associations with the entrepreneurial endeavors of Silicon Valley, make us uniquely positioned to accelerate the pace at which new knowledge is translated into tangible health benefits. Biomedical Data Science Initiative The Biomedical Data Science Initiative is a collaborative effort between Stanford Medicine and Oxford University to use big data on a global scale to improve health across the world. Working together, we’ll accelerate discovery from large datasets, provide new insights into disease and apply targeted therapies on an unprecedented scale. Harnessing the power of big data is a big job. This is precisely the kind of large, complex challenge at which Stanford Medicine excels. With our engines of basic and translational research, our computational expertise, our ties to Silicon Valley, our history of tackling society’s big, intractable problems and now, our partnership with Oxford University – we’ll formulate the best methods for putting big data to work for patients everywhere.
