About BMI::Introduction

In 1995, the institute of Public Health of Yang-Ming University launched a new sector called Health Informatics in order to focus on medical information processing, data storage and knowledge retrieval technologies used in both medical care services and industrial domains. At first, only master program was offered. The doctoral program was soon started in 1997. Institute of Health Informatics and Decision Making was then formally established in 2000. For studying genes and genomes by using information technology, Institute of Bioinformatics was created in 2003. By the great improvement of bioinformation technology, it became a new international tendency. As a result, YMU (Yang-Ming University) integrated the Institute of Bioinformatics and Institute of Health Informatics and Decision Making to be “Institute of Biomedical Informatics” (BMI) in 2005. Now we have nearly hundred students including master and doctoral programs. This combination is not only interdisciplinary but also cross level.
