INFOBIOMED

INFOBIOMED aims at enforcing European Biomedical Informatics as an integrative discipline with a view on supporting individualised healthcare. Biomedical Informatics aims to take advantage of synergies derived from a joint consideration of both Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics, facilitating the discovery of novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

INFOBIOMED has been designed to cover all the significant aspects that are relevant to MI and BI and that have the potential to provide a space for synergy between them. These aspects include consideration of generic research in the fields of data interoperability and management, methods, technologies and tools, including issues such as security and standards development.

The knowledge gathered in these activities is then tested into some 'vertical' pilot applications that aim to cover the whole range of information levels from molecule to population, and which address three important challenges in individualized healthcare: translational research, clinical management and disease prevention.
