Big Data Summer Immersion at Yale

Transforming Analytical Learning in the Era of Big Data: A Summer Institute in Biostatistics (SIBS) program

The Big Data Summer Immersion at Yale (BDSY), an SIBS program, is an interdisciplinary training and research program in biostatistics that introduces undergraduate students to the intersection of big data and human health. This rapidly growing field uses quantitative analysis to help solve scientific problems and improve people’s lives.

Led by the Yale School of Public Health, BDSY draws from the expertise and experience of outstanding faculty from several departments at Yale— biostatistics, statistics, engineering, and computer science — this immersive program exposes undergraduate students to diverse experiences and techniques that distinguish it from any other undergraduate summer program in biostatistics in the country.

This Summer Institute in Biostatistics (SIBS) program is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), grant R25HL161795, with the intent to introduce undergrad students to the field of biostatistics. Courses will include data collected in studies of heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders. To learn more about our sister programs, please visit the NHLBI SIBS program website.

The Big Data Summer Immersion at Yale is hosted by the Yale School of Public Health. All coursework takes place at the school, which is located on the Yale University campus in New Haven, CT.
