2016 Biomedical Informatics Symposium at Georgetown October 14, 2016
The 5th annual Biomedical Informatics symposium at Georgetown was a huge success with over 250 registered participants and a poster session that included over 40 selected scientific, team science projects from across the Georgetown community, affiliated local universities, industry sponsors, and other collaborators. Many leaders in the field of bioinformatics joined us to share their work in important areas of Precision Medicine, Big Data in Biomedicine, and Emerging Technologies for Health Data Analytics. TriNetX and Orion Health sponsored a lunch panel that discussed Precision Medicine and Accelerating Clinical Trials. Below is a summary of talks and panel discussions.
The event was graciously supported by many industry partners listed below:
In addition we had institutional support from our Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Georgetown-Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Science (GHUCCTS), and the Georgetown Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (CERSI).
