Bioinformatics Summit 2009 Registration
Background
Integrating knowledge about disease phenotypes and finding preventive and treatment interventions present significant challenges for bioinformatics. During the 2006 Bioinformatics Summit meeting, we reviewed many programs funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Division of Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation (DAIT) and we identified several areas of potential collaborations, synergy and reusable resources within the different DAIT-funded bioinformatics and data management programs. In the 2007 Summit, we focused on the bioinformatics challenges of data reusability and secondary data analysis. In the 2008 Summit, we discussed the challenges of a systems approach for personalized medicine.
The main topics of the Summit 2009 are:
- Pros and cons of federated vs centralized approaches in managing translational research data
- Semantic web approaches for data integration
- Computational text mining and manual annotation in the development of biomedical knowledgebases
- Challenges of data visualization for a systems approach in biomedical research
