The role of Knowledge

management

Page 9: HIKM 2012 presentation fjms

The role of knowledge management to facilitate translational research

•  Update researchers and clinicians on the latest developments within relevant areas

•  Data integration (putting into context molecular information from the patient with existing biomedical knowledge on the web)

•  Assess the clinical relevance of biomarkers

•  Supporting decision making through new clinical guidelines, and alerting systems which take into account genetic data from patients

•  Education of patients and health professionals in genomics and informatics

Questions – Data integration

•  What are the main features of the disease? •  Are there any drugs for the disease? •  Are there any gene therapies or clinical trials for the disease? •  What laboratories perform genetic tests for the disease? •  What genes cause the disease? •  On which chromosomes are these genes located? •  What mutations have been found in these genes? •  What names are used to refer to these genes? •  What are the proteins coded by these genes? •  What are the functions of the gene product? •  What is the 3D structure for these proteins? •  What are the enzymes associated to these proteins?

Collaborative Health Informatics Research Seminar & Social (CHIRSS) Focus on the future of healthcare and new opportunities that are emerging for collaborative R&D in

Health and Biomedical Informatics. Once a month. CHIRSS is supported by the Institute for a Broadband Enabled Society and Victorian eResearch

Strategic Initiative Partnerships Journal club A new Health and Biomedical Informatics journal club has started up, with a focus on strategies for

publishing health informatics research. We meet from 12.00 to 1.00 on the second Tuesday of the month in the ICT Building, 111 Barry Street, level 4, room 9.
