BIDAC is a Health Sciences Core facility providing advanced image analysis, data science and visualization services to research laboratories and private industry. Our areas of expertise include AI (deep learning, machine learning), medical computing, scientific visualization, data science, data analytics and data engineering. These application-oriented consulting services leverage the expertise of the University of Utah’s Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute, and therefore complement existing core services dedicated to the development of advanced imaging technologies.
BIDAC provides resources to support activities likely to have a sustainable impact on Utah research technology: by enhancing Utah-centered research capabilities, fostering collaborative multidisciplinary activities and/or generating new pilot results for grant submissions. 

Do you wonder how AI can benefit your health science projects, using deep learning or machine learning techniques? Does your group regularly use imaging equipment (e.g microscope, scanner) without a proper solution for image analysis? Do you need quantitative results from biomedical images for your scientific papers or grant applications? Do you need automated or more robust solutions for your ever-increasing datasets? BIDAC is ready to help you succeed in your research projects.
