For the second year in a row, I attended the Joint Summits on Translational Science, rebranded as the AMIA Informatics Summit (Figure 1). Despite the name change, the locale was the same (San Francisco, CA) with slightly different conference dates (March 12-15, 2018), and the scope of the science remained highly relevant: data science, translational […]
Precision Medicine Research: Where Genomics Meets Big Data Biomedical Informatics Dana C. Crawford, PhD Case Western Reserve University

SACNAS, Long Beach, CA, 2016 The ABCs of Diversity in Genomic Research: Ascertainment, Bioinformatics, and Computation Narrative: Thousands of common genetic variants are now associated with hundreds of clinical outcomes and traits. The majority of this discoveries, however, were made only in European-descent populations. We provide in this scientific session an overview of genomic research […]
SACNAS, Washington, DC, 2015 Genomic discovery, collaboration, and translation using electronic health records Narrative: Precision medicine is often described as prescribing the right drug at the right dose the first time to each patient. While the need for precision medicine is often acknowledged, the data and pathway to its implementation have been lacking. Earlier this […]

As of 2018, I have attended a grand total of six Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) meetings, all held on the Big Island of Hawaii. This figure is not impressive compared with colleagues and PSB early adopters like Drs. Marylyn Ritchie and Will Bush (Figure 1). Nor is it impressive compared with the founders of […]
