Highlighted Activities at CBMi
CBMi study identifies neurodevelopmental pathways
preferentially aberrant in children with ADHD:
CBMi researchers have identified hundreds of gene variations that
occur more frequently in children with attention-deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) than in children without ADHD. Many of those genes
were already known to be important for learning, behavior, brain
function and neurodevelopment, but had not been previously associated
with ADHD.
Analysis of Gene Expression Microarray Data Reveals Indicators of Flu Severity:
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia researchers, with help from the Research Institute's Bioinformatics Core, have analyzed gene expression microarray data to reveal potential contributors to the development of secondary infections.
CBMi Hosts Second Annual Healthcare Informatics Symposium:
The Second Annual Healthcare Informatics Symposium was held at The Union League of Philadelphia on April 24, 2009. Events of the day included keynote presentations by Don Detmer, President of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) and John Halamka, CIO of Harvard Medical School, as well as presentations from other healthcare informatics experts.
