Announcing the 6th Annual Research Conference
NCIBI & RCMI Workshop
- June 28-29, 2011
"Data Integration, Analysis and Use: From Past to Future"
University of Michigan, North Campus Research Complex, Ann Arbor MI
About NCIBI
The National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics (NCIBI) was founded in October 2005 and is one of seven National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) in the NIH Roadmap. NCIBI is based at the University of Michigan as a part of the Center for Computational Medicine and Biology (CCMB). The Center develops conceptual models, computational infrastructure, an integrated knowledge repository, and query and analysis tools that enable scientists to effectively access and integrate the wealth of biological data.
About RCMI
NCRR's Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) program enhances the research capacity and infrastructure at minority colleges and universities that offer doctorates in health sciences. Because many investigators at RCMI institutions study diseases that disproportionately affect minorities, the program serves the dual purpose of bringing more minority scientists into mainstream research and enhancing studies of minority health.
About the Meeting
The 2011 Annual Research Meeting will be hosted at our newest facility, the North Campus Research Complex (NCRC) and will feature updates on key applications and developments over the past year, and focus on key data integration and tool integration related to the NCIBI Driving Biological Problems. There will be presentations by RCMI leadership, and faculty which will enhance our understanding of the problem space and set the stage for future collaborations. The second day will focus on presentations and workshops to help learn and utilize the NCIBI Tools and identify possible collaborative efforts in tool application or development.
