Institute of Data Science
Founded in 2017, the Institute of Data Science (IDS) is committed to research in data science and artificial intelligence, collaborating across disciplines, institutions, and sectors. The goal of our research is to accelerate scientific discovery, improve clinical care and well-being, and to strengthen communities. We specialise in machine learning, decentralised applications related to biomedical data, as well as promoting the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) principles. With FAIR as a foundation, we have an emerging focus on responsible data science by design.
IDS is part of the Department of Advanced Computing Sciences.
