Genomics, Proteomics, and Other Non-Traditional Data Types

The Translational Informatics Unit (TiU) resides within the Center for Biomedical Informatics (CBMi), a Stokes Institute Center of Emphasis. In addition to clinical informatics capabilities, CBMi maintains a strong level of experience in genomics, proteomics and other non-traditional biomedical data types.

The analysts within TiU can model these data types within an integrated data repository or can aid in the development or implementation of algorithms to better interpret this data in combination with phenotypic endpoints. TiU analysts closely collaborate with data analysts from the Bioinformatics Core , a service unit also within the parent CBMi organization. Bioinformatics Core analysts specialize in areas of prime importance in a translational research setting such as gene expression, genotyping, proteomics, next-generation sequencing and application development.

TiU analysts can also serve as mediators between vendors who specialize in translational, genomics, proteomics, or image-related data management and analysis.
