AMIA 2011 Summit on Translational Bioinformatics
March 7-9, 2011
http://jointsummits2011.amia.org/

The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) is pleased to
invite you to submit proposals for papers and panels for the 2011
Summit on Translational Bioinformatics (TBI). The TBI Summit will be
held on March 7th-9th, 2011, at the Parc 55 Hotel San Francisco,
California as part of the Joint Summits on Translational
Science. Since 2008, the Summit has been recognized as a key venue for
the exchange of ideas in translational bioinformatics. We seek the
best work by leading biomolecular and clinical informaticians,
geneticists, computational biologists, biologists, clinicians,
technologists, computer scientists and public health scientists.

SUBMISSION DATES
Papers: August 16, 2010
Panels: October 18, 2010
Abstracts: December 15, 2010

All proposals must be submitted using the link on the proposals page
at the AMIA website according to following deadlines as described

The Summit on Translational Bioinformatics aims to highlight the
trans-disciplinary nature of this now-burgeoning research field and
provide a unique opportunity to bring together the finest minds in
translational bioinformatics from the academia, industry, government
and non-profit sectors. As in previous years, the top papers will be
invited to publish in an open access journal.

The four tracks this year are focused on methodological innovations
from bench to bedside, with a particular emphasis on clinical
implications based on the latest in molecular and cellular biology
innovations:

- Concepts, Tools and Techniques to Enable Integrative Translational Bioinformatics
- Integrative Analysis of Molecular and Clinical Measurements
- Representing and Relating Phenotypes and Disease for Translational Bioinformatics
- Bridging Basic Science Discoveries and Clinical Practice

Reflecting on the unique position of translational bioinformatics in
medical research and ultimately in clinical care, the 2011 Scientific
Program Committee and Advisory Committee strives to design a
comprehensive scientific program with a complementary set of
tutorials, lectures, panels, and posters that are designed to feature
the latest innovative deployment and translation of biomedical
informatics research products to biomedical research and clinical
care. We anticipate the Summit will once more be a stimulating and
informative experience and a testimony to the commitment of this
rapidly growing research community to work together on unified
interests to catalyze discoveries and innovations in biomedical
research and patient care.
