In December 2005 ABOR established the Biomedical Informatics department with the following hiring plan:
Faculty searches are far advanced toward hiring the four core BMI faculty shown in the projection for FY07.
Currently, there are no FTE students and 1.15 FTE faculty members in the Biomedical Informatics Department (Grace Chen is 0.5 FTE; S. Partovi is 0.25 FTE; and Howard Silverman is 0.40 FTE). This is reflected in the FY06 Projections shown immediately above.
There are four components of the proposed Department of Biomedical Informatics: molecular biology, medical imaging, medicine, and public health. For many years, the ASU Libraries have collected extensively in the areas of molecular biology and public health. The journal collections in these areas are strong; a few titles may have to be added to provide depth and focus to holdings in selected areas. ASU has worked with the University of Arizona to identify collections and resources within their collections to inform collection development planning for the MS Program in Biomedical Informatics at ASU
In contrast to molecular biology and public health, because ASU does not have a medical school, the Libraries’ medical collection has not been developed to support clinical medicine and diagnosis. Similarly, the ASU Libraries have not traditionally collected in the area of medical imaging. These two areas, medicine and medical imaging, will have to be developed to support the BMI faculty and new curricula. And finally, ASU does not license an international patent database. Access to an international patent database will be needed to support basic research efforts. (See Appendix A for an itemization of needed library acquisitions).
The Department of Biomedical Informatics will be primarily housed in the Bank of America building at the Brickyard on Mill (Tempe campus, 660 S. Mill) and the Arizona Biomedical Collaborative Building I, currently under construction in downtown Phoenix. In addition, a number of joint hires will be located in existing institutes and collaborating departments on campus. The Arizona Biomedical Collaborative will be located on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus of the Arizona State University System (PBCAUS), next to the Translational Genomics Research Institute building. The Department will occupy approximately 27,000 square feet in the Arizona Biomedical Collaborative. The anticipated move date is Spring of 2007. This space will consist primarily of faculty labs and offices, several conference rooms, and minimal administrative space. Funding has been provided for Arizona Biomedical Collaborative Building I through Laws 2003, Chapter 267 - HB 2529 (university research infrastructure financing). Planning staff are working with the Capital Programs Management Group to design a space suitable for biomedical informatics research.
It is anticipated that classroom, student computing space and student lab space will be available at other locations on Phoenix Bioscience Campus.
Existing clerical and staff positions in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering will support development of the Department of Biomedical Informatics.
