CBMI Palaver on Translational Medicine
Translational Science on the Cloud
February 24 - June 1, 2009
WebEx Broadcast: Instructions
Participants in the ‘Clouded Translational Science’ seminar will conduct a series of exercises in biomedical discovery and translational science using cloud computing technology. Participants represent Harvard, Children’s Hospital of Boston, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Beth Israel Hospital, Mass General, the Broad Institute, two University of Wisconsin campuses (Madison and Milwaukee) and the Tokyo Medical and Dental University and will learn about and implement databases, analysis tools and web application development environments using the Amazon cloud computing environment – AWS (http://aws.amazon.com/). Lectures will include scientific background, project objectives and methods, and cloud technology. To accomplish these objectives, we will create, manage and use a ‘translational research laboratory’ on the cloud based on emerging cloud technology and services.
Seminar projects:
- Network Analysis for Disease Genetics
- The Translational Variome
- Next Generation Sequence Analysis
- i2b2
- Pharmacogenetics - with Clinical Avatars
