Montgomery County & University of Maryland Planning Institute for Health Computing

Montgomery County Executive, Marc Elrich has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Maryland, College Park; University of Maryland, Baltimore and the University of Maryland Medical System to launch the Institute for Health Computing in Montgomery County. It will be the centerpiece of development at the North Bethesda Metro station (formerly named White Flint) in the Pike District.

The institute will leverage the University of Maryland’s world-renowned expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, the clinical and research expertise of the University of Maryland Medical System, and the County’s leadership in biotechnology to revolutionize healthcare delivery. Its capabilities will help with drug discovery, adaptive clinical trials, and personalized medicine in a way that will help with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease for residents of Montgomery County and around the world.

This MOU creates the County’s first major academic research facility in the heart of the region’s bio-life science corridor. It will also breathe life into a key section of Rockville Pike and will become the epicenter of the entire region’s bio and life sciences community.
