Welcome to the homepage of The Biomedical Science Accelerator (BIOMEDASA) project!
BIOMEDASA is a new initiative aiming to make data science in biomedical research more inclusive, accessible, and impactful.
At the moment, data science as a field is not very diverse. Fewer than 1 in 4 professionals in the field are women, and Black, African, Caribbean, and Black British communities are also significantly underrepresented. At the same time, much of biomedical research focuses on data collection, with less emphasis on meaningful analysis - limiting its real-world impact.
We believe that diverse, well-supported teams are essential for better, smarter science. BIOMEDASA, funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), is a two-year project (Jan 2025 – Jan 2027) working to build a stronger, more representative data science community.
