Google Tech Talks
January, 8 2008

NIH awards more than $500M/yr for grants to researchers pursuing research in biomedical informatics. This includes computation, simulation, modeling, and, increasingly, work on storage, retrieval, curation, and analysis of massive amounts of data needed for biomedical research. Dr. Marron will outline the investment strategy for making awarding funds in this broad area of research.

Speaker: Dr. Michael Marron
Mike Marron is the director of the Biomedical Technology Division of the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). His group focuses on funding development and collaborative sharing of cutting-edge technologies ranging from new imaging techniques using advanced light sources (e.g. synchrotrons) to computational and networking infrastructure for integrative, multi-disciplinary science (e.g. http://www.nbirn.net/).

I'm sorry but what this person calls computation is actually informatics, there is a HUGE difference. As a computational scientist and cystic fibrosis research, I will guarantee you that until we learn to compute complex systems better, there will be NO cures for ANY human disease. The good news is this CAN be done - data from the human genome project CAN be translated into cures. I believe I have THEE answer for how this WILL be done. For more info visit my channel. Bless all.

"Healthcare electronic records will enter mainstream only by 2015"..i think thats a bit conservative..I know of the HL7 and LOINC systems that are already being widely adopted by many organizations like Quest,LabCorp,Mayo,CDC,DOD,VA,­NLM and countries like germany, switzerland and canada..

Exabits, lol.

Good luck organizing all that information!
