Who We Are

Our Culture: Though the primary goal of the BDC project is to build a data science ecosystem, at its core, this is a people-centric endeavor. BDC is also building a community of practice working collaboratively to solve technical and scientific challenges in biomedical science.

Principal Investigators (PIs):

• Stan Ahalt, PI RENCI (Coordination Center)

• Rebecca Boyles, Co-PI RTI (Coordination Center)

• Paul Avillach, PI HMS (Team Carbon)

• Kira Bradford, Co-PI RENCI (Team Helium)
