CEBI - Center for Evidence-Based Imaging

Our Group

The Center for Evidence-Based Imaging (CEBI) was established in 2002 to improve quality and efficiency of care delivery using innovative technologies to reduce medical errors and cost. The Center for Evidence-Based Imaging welcomed the Decision Systems Group (DSG) in 2009. The Decision Systems Group is a biomedical informatics research laboratory funded primarily by NIH grants and is not exclusive to radiology: most of our projects involve clinical collaborators in other medical specialties, as well as biologists, epidemiologists, and health services researchers. CEBI-DSG offers biomedical informatics to postdoctoral fellows, who carry out activities in research and development with the faculty. These activities involve development and application of novel quantitative methods and software in a variety of clinical and biological domains, with collaborators in academia and industry. Our research in medical imaging informatics, clinical informatics, global health informatics, and bioinformatics involves local and international groups. Alumni from our training program have become leaders at different research and teaching institutions, as well as large corporations.

Our mission is to train the next generation of biomedical informatics researchers by combining structured coursework and hands on research experience. We strongly support the enrollment of our trainees in degree programs at Harvard. CEBI-DSG faculty members teach core curriculum courses in biomedical informatics at Harvard, and advise students in different programs. A limited number of fellowships are available through our research grants.
