BIOINF 2032

Biomedical Informatics Journal Club (ISSP 2083) (1 credit)

Biomedical informatics is a broad field encompassing many different research domains. What all of the domains have in common is the need to review and publish scientific papers and to give talks that present research to different audiences. The aim of this journal club is to expose students to recent research in various topics of biomedical informatics and to teach students how to critique a research article, present research from a research study; and critique a verbal presentation of research.

Instructor:  Kayhan Batmanghelich, Ph.D.

Term:  Fall

Days/Times:  Fridays, 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

Location:  536B BAUM, 5607 Baum Blvd.

BIOINF 2070

Foundations of Biomedical Informatics 1 (3 credits) 

This course serves as an introduction to core methods and topics in biomedical informatics using the context of the Learning Health System (LHS). A LHS combines data and information managements, discovery, and application of discoveries to clinical and population health. Discussion of the challenges associated with the construction of a LHS will be used to contextualize and motivate content to be covered in the course (people, data and knowledge, and evaluation). 

Instructor:  Richard Boyce, Ph.D.

Term:  Fall

Days/Times:  Tuesdays/Thursdays 9:00 a.m. to 10:25 a.m.

Location:  407A BAUM, 5607 Baum Blvd.

BIOINF 2134

Publication & Presentation in Biomedical Informatics (3 credits)

This course provides a practical overview of how to write a research manuscript and how to give a scientific talk. It is usually taken after completing the Project Course (BIOINF 2014). Students taking this course must have a completed research project that can be used to complete the course exercises. Each week, we will target a specific section of the manuscript or scientific talk. Didactic sessions describing common problems and approaches will alternate with student presentation and peer critique. The course also covers the details of the publication process. At the end of the course, a special presentation workshop gives students the opportunity to improve their talks using videotaping and debriefing methods. By the end of the course, students will have completed a research paper and a finalized colloquium presentation.

Instructor:  Harry Hochheiser, Ph.D.

Days/Times:  Tuesday/Thursday from 1:30 p.m. – 2:55 p.m.

Location:  407B BAUM, 5607 Baum Blvd.

Prerequisite: Completed data collection for study in research project with approval of both research advisor and course instructor.
