The Joint Center for Biocomputing and Digital Health (BDH) was co-founded by the Health Research Institute (HRI) and the Institute of Computing and Cybersystems (ICC). The center is directed by Jingfeng Jiang (BME). BDH researchers conduct research, develop innovative solutions, and provide educational opportunities in the areas of biocomputing and digital health, enhancing Michigan Tech’s ability to recruit and retain high-quality researchers and students, elevating Michigan Tech’s presence in developing technologies for healthcare delivery, and increasing knowledge sharing in the global community.
