Organisation profile

The Biostatistics and Medical Informatics department at the medical campus of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is involved in education and R&D covering the fields of (bio)statistics, medical informatics and E-health.

The members of the team are involved in teaching statistics and computer science mainly in the faculty of medicine and pharmacy of the VUB in Jette. The department coordinates the "master after master in management of health data", a one year inter-university program with UGent, UAntwerpen and VUB.

Support and service activities have to do with the management of the ICT infrastructure for public access (public computer rooms), the educative ICT infrastructure (ICT classrooms) and computers in the auditoria, the main server of the campus, and statistical processing of scientific data for medical research.
