Biomedical Informatics in Translational Research

Taking a systems-oriented approach, the book offers insight into how to conduct biomedical informatics research at the clinical and molecular levels, with detailed guidelines on study design, IRB protocol development, questionnaire design, specimen collection, and other procedures and applications. Readers learn the latest data integration and federation approaches, and explore potential new data analysis and mining methodologies for tackling problems that cannot be readily resolved using current technologies. Moreover, this pioneering work includes in-depth examples, demonstrating how to develop tools for specific biomedical informatics tasks.
