The integration of biology and clinical practice is referred to as Translational Medicine and it will have a profound effect on healthcare. As translational medicine is adopted it will require very different information systems that inform and guide clinicians. This blog is to record the ideas of some of the thought leaders in translational to inform the work of Translational Software Inc. (link).
I became interested in bioinformatics several years ago and founded the BioIT Alliance at Microsoft to accelerate collaboration within the industry. I recently formed a startup to concentrate on the software that will be necessary to put translational medicine into practice.
