Why DIVA

The exponential growth of biomedical information far exceeds our cognitive abilities to exploit it for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. At the DIVA lab, we use visual analytics to discover and validate significant patterns in big and complex datasets, and translate those discoveries into computational innovations that enhance biomedical decision-making.
