Biomedical InformaticsBiomedical InformaticsDefinitionDefinition
“…an umbrella term that names the core discipline while also denoting the union of the information and computer sciences with domains including clinical practice, biomedical research, imaging, public health, and health professions education. We believe that use of ‘‘biomedical informatics’’ as the overarching term and ‘‘bioinformatics’’ in a more focused sense will lead over time to the clearest portrayal of the field and, as such, will promote effective communication among the varied constituencies that work in the field.”
Friedman, C.P. et.al (2004)

Areas of Concentration at ASUAreas of Concentration at ASU
• Bioinformatics – “develop computational tools for the analysis of biomedical data and systems”
• Clinical informatics – “develop novel information technology, computer science and knowledge management methodologies for disease prevention, treatment, more efficient and safer patient care delivery, and knowledge access.”
http://bmi.asu.edu/graduate/bmi_phd.php
Areas of Concentration at ASUAreas of Concentration at ASU
• Cognitive science – “…study of medical decision-making, cognitive foundations of health behaviors, and the effective use of computer-based information technologies.” Areas include: analysis of medical error, models of
naturalistic problem solving and decision-making, development and use of clinical guidelines, and evaluation of human-computer interactions

Areas of Concentration at ASUAreas of Concentration at ASU
• Imaging Informatics – develop “information technology and computational tools to manage and analyze biomedical images (such as radiological films, CAT scans, pathology/microscopy or surgical simulation environments)…”
• Public Health Informatics – “…systematic application of information and computer sciences to public health practice, research, and learning…”

From the Literature: Systems From the Literature: Systems BiologyBiology
“Engineering sciences provides a bundles of computational tools and theoretical methods that are frequently applied in systems biology research.”
– Modeling– Model analysis
Kremling (2007) p. 348
From the Literature: Systems From the Literature: Systems BiologyBiology
“Systems biology is the merger of systems theory (engineering approaches) and molecular/cell biology…is particularly attractive for researchers from the engineering and physical sciences. What this indicates is that an “engineering or “systems-theoretic” approach is different to the way cell-biological systems have been studied.”
Wolkenhauer (2007)
From the Literature: Systems From the Literature: Systems BiologyBiology
• “…the engineering approach is a necessity, not a choice, if we are to understand the functioning of the cell.”
• Mathematical models and rich data sets
Wolkenhauer (2007)
From the literature: Systems From the literature: Systems BiologyBiology
“…1) a biological system can be viewed as an engineering system, 2) biological information integration can be approached by reverse engineering, and 3) biological systems can be represented in the form of modern engineering system architectures.”
Zheng (2006)
