Review: Biomedical informatics can play a role in bridging the gap between the clinical choices that will impact a patient and the available technologies, clinical data and the clinician input. Translational research focuses on the conversion of laboratory results into clinical utility. This book gives step-by-step instruction on innovative techniques for integrating data from clinical and high-throughput molecular study platforms, as well as the public domain. It explains how to apply computational and statistical methods to clinical, genomic and proteomic studies to enhance data collection, tracking, storage visualisation, analysis, and knowledge-discovery processes. Chapters include: The clinical perspective; Tissue banking; The biological perspective; Genomics studies; Proteomics; Data tracking systems; Data centralisation; Data analysis; Research and application; Clinical examples.
