The AI.MED lab uses translational bioinformatics to develop innovative techniques and create new databases and discover novel biomedical information to improve clinical care, diagnosis and treatment. The Bioinformatics Lab provides services to manage and analyze next-generation sequencing data. The team includes
individuals with skills in bioinformatics, computer science, and statistics.
U-BRITE (UAB Biomedical Research Information Technology Enhancement)
assembles new and existing HIPAA-compliant, high-performance informatics tools to
provide researchers with a means to better manage and analyze clinical and
genomic data sets and implements a “translational research commons” to facilitate and enable interdisciplinary team science across geographical locations.
i2b2 (Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside) is an NIH-funded National Center for Biomedical Computing based at Partners HealthCare System. i2b2 was developed as a scalable informatics framework designed for translational research. i2b2 was designed primarily for cohort identification, allowing users to perform an enterprise-wide search on a de-identified repository of health information to
determine the existence of a set of patients meeting certain inclusion or exclusion criteria.
