P30 Neuroscience Blueprint Core Workshop
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
2-3p, Farrell 213
Biomedical Informatics Core
Director: Rakesh Nagarajan,
Services: Core applications are used to handle data generated in the course of routine patient care, of patient-oriented research, and by genome-wide profiling. These applications not only store individual data sets but are syntactically and semantically interoperable and enable seamless integration of two or more sources. These applications are used to:
· Access medical record information for research purposes.
· Manage clinical studies information.
· Warehouse, catalog and annotate biospecimens.
· Store profiling data from genome-wide approaches.
· Analyze and visualize complex data sets in order to facilitate in silico predictions that may then be validated at the bench or through patient-oriented research.

Biospecimen and Clinical Data Acquisition Core
Director: Mark Watson,
Co-Director: Joel Perlmutter,
Services: The Biospecimen and Clinical Data Acquisition Core facilitates the coordinated collection, processing, storage, and distribution of biospecimens and clinical data from patients with a broad representation of diseases of the nervous system. This Core:
· Initiates the collection of biospecimens and associated clinical data from patient populations where little support currently exists.
· Catalyzes the integration of several large, pre-existing bio-repositories and clinical databases of nervous system disease patients.
· Makes accessible an inventory of available biospecimen resources and de-identified data that can be queried by authorized intramural and extramural neuroscience investigators.
