Directed by Isaac Kohane, MD, PhD, the Children's Hospital Informatics Program (CHIP) is a multidisciplinary applied research program. CHIP focuses in three areas: bioinformatics, public health informatics (including biosurveillance), and clinical informatics. The faculty is diverse, including physicians with additional training in information science, computer scientists with expertise in the biomedical sciences, mathematicians, and epidemiologists. CHIP encourages collaboration and provides shared resources to develop innovative information technologies with the goal of both enhancing biomedical research and improving patient care. CHIP also serves as the bioinformatics core for several national genomics investigations.

Featured researchers in the Informatics Program hold faculty appointments at Harvard Medical School and in the Harvard-MIT Division of Health, Sciences and Technology.
