27 October 2010	Conference
Bridging the gap in biomedical genetics
Location: Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK Biomedical research is increasingly using new molecular technologies, such as genotyping, transcription profiling, or metabolite profiling in order to understand disease mechanisms, test drug efficacy, and develop new therapies. Patient samples are now routinely profiled by such technologies, and the data are collected in biomedical research warehouses for analysis. The patient health records are typically managed in separate information systems. To achieve the full power of the new approaches for translational research the molecular data need to be integrated with information from the patient records. The goal of the meeting will be to foster the dialog between the bioinformatics and medical informatics communities, and to plan concrete steps to achieve better integration of the information systems from these two fields. We will discuss the data representation standards used in both fields and will outline a path towards mapping between the respective standards. The target audience will be the architects of health informatics and bioinformatics infrastructure systems, researchers in clinics who are using genomics and bioinformatics tools, and researchers in bioinformatics who are using clinical data and are interested in medical applications and translational research. The meeting will include invited talks, talks selected from open abstract submissions and breakout discussion sessions.
