Research Centers in the Field of Data Science
Center for Data Science (CDS)
The NYU Center for Data Science (CDS) is a focal point for New York University’s university-wide initiative in data science. It was established to help advance NYU’s goal of creating the country’s leading data science training and research facilities, arming researchers and professionals with tools to harness the power of big data.
Center for the Promotion of Research Involving Innovative Statistical Methodology (PRIISM)
The Center for the Promotion of Research Involving Innovative Statistical Methodology (PRIISM) is a new center dedicated to improving the caliber of research in quantitative social, educational, behavioral, allied health and policy science.
Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP)
The Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) is a unique public-private research center offering educational programs in applying big data to issues of urban life and infrastructure. CUSP is backed by the support and cooperation of New York City.
NYU Center for Genomics and Systems Biology
The mission of the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology is to define how regulatory networks operate and how they have evolved to generate diversity across species. For this work, we use approaches that span systems biology, comparative functional genomics and bioinformatic analysis focusing on model organisms and phylogenetically related species.
NYU Center for Health Informatics and Bioinformatics (NYU Langone Medical Center)
The mission of CHIBI is to catalyze transformative changes in biomedicine through breakthrough computational methodological research, best practices services, state of the art infrastructure and cutting-edge education.
