Prospective analysis on Biomedical Informatics enabling personalised medicineJanuary 2013.
One of the most significant obstacles in the practice of personalised medicine is the translation of scientific discoveries into effective clinical outcomes that relate to the ‘individual'. This report aims at analyzing and mapping out the future development of Biomedical Information towards ultimate clinical utility, to present Biomedical Informatics approaches that can help the translation of biomedical research results into clinical practice, and to present methods of integration and extraction of data from biomedical research and healthcare practice in novel ways.

The interface between systems biology and medical informaticsJanuary 2013.The task of biomedical informatics is to connect and make full use of the biological and clinical entities. Informatics tools and approaches, such as machine learning, text mining, data standardization and integration, have become pivotal in both computational systems biology and medical informatics domains. This report provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in methods and models that connect molecular level systems biology and medical informatics. Patient clustering for cohort identification, interpretation of genetic data from patients, patient stratification for treatment regimes and public health informatics are some of the areas that have benefitted from advances in biomedical informatics, where personalized medicine is the ultimate goal. |
REPORT Bio-, Medical- and Neuroinformatics Supporting NeurosciencesJanuary 2013.This Workshop took place at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) on 6 July 2012, under the auspices of INBIOMEDvision. It brought together more than 40 participants representing 20 different institutions from ten different countries, and comprised of six technical presentations divided into two themes; The Virtual Brain (VB) Platform and Clinical and Technical Challenges, followed by an open round table discussion. |

Biomedical Informatics Researchers DirectoryThe Research Index compiles public information from PubMed into a scientist profile. Based on these scientific profiles scientists are categorised into the three domains of biomedical informatics and listed in the researcher index. The tools allows one to find the scientists per domain and obtain additional information on affiliation, co-authors and publications (if available). |

Beyond Omics Revolutions:Integrative Knowledge Management for Empowered Healthcare and Research. July 3-5, 2012. This event was organised by BDebate and the INBIOMEDvision project, and had an innovative format encouraging for open discussion among the participants. More than 30 internationally renowned scientists from various disciplines met on the 3rd and 4th of July in Barcelona to share their ideas and views about integrative knowledge management for healthcare and research. After these two days of intensive debates, the event was closed by a Symposium open to a wide scientific community and included a set of lectures given by some of the participants in the debates. |
Genotype-phenotype data resources catalogue.The main objective of this web application is to catalogue existing genotype and phenotype data resources and to map the projections for the future development of these resources world-wide. This catalogue try to address the evolution of the accumulation of high throughput, molecular level data from individuals, e.g. genome sequence data, tissue-specific gene expression data, and protein-protein interaction data from clinical proteomics, which recently has provided additional impetus in the field of individualized systems biology. |
