Mission
To focus on opportunities in biomedical informatics, that arise from the storage, retrieval, analysis, and dissemination of molecular information in a clinical setting. The areas of interest include:

  • Unifying clinical and molecular databases:
    • Connecting molecular information currently collected in research studies (e.g., microarray data) with information currently located in patient health records
    • Developing the electronic medical record of the future, in which molecular information will be fully integrated
    • Linking clinical trial and drug discovery information with clinical/molecular databases
  • Supporting the development of benchmark clinical/molecular datasets
  • Developing clinical decision support tools utilizing molecular information
  • Visualizing and modeling the molecular basis of disease
  • Collaborating with groups both inside and outside AMIA to build on expertise in related areas such as formal ontologies, data mining, etc.
