Translational Medicine • Enable physicians to more effectively translate relevant findings and hypotheses into therapies for human health • Support the blending of huge volumes of clinical research and phenotypic data with genomic research data • Apply that knowledge to patients and finally make individualized, preventative medicine a reality for diseases that have a genetic basis
Role of Informatics John Glaser, CIO Partners Healthcare • Providing high quality and efficient health care isn't possible anymore without a sophisticated marriage of information technology and state-of-the-art science. • Bringing these together to inform patient care is a tremendous undertaking… the full array of new information provided by genomic research must be harnessed and made real for doctors and patients • A Framework for conducting clinical research in and across large multidisciplinary academic medical centers is designed to establish a "new" biomedicine to "fully exploits the fruit of the genomic revolution for clinical practice and allows clinical care to be leveraged to advance basic biological research.
Challenges for Drug D&D • Counteracting the legacy of “Silos” • How to break away from the DD “conveyor belt model” to the “Translation model” • gaining and sharing insights throughout the process • The Benefit of New Targets for New Diseases • How to best identify safety and efficacy issues early on, so that cost and failure are reduced • A D3 Knowledge-base: Drugability and Safety

Communities and Interoperability Semantic interoperability is directly tied to CoP: • “Within a community or domain, relative homogeneity reduces interoperability challenges. Heterogeneity increases as one moves outside of a focal community/domain, and interoperability is likely [to be] more costly and difficult to achieve” Moen, 2001 • Meanings encoded in a schema are usually useful for only one (original) community - difficult to extend to others! • Database utility more difficult if group is heterogeneous

Toxicity Indication Drug Safety Knowledge • Genomic Profile Standards set by Regulatory Agencies • To be part of NDA (New Drug Applications) • How will Reviewers be empowered to handle such large amaount sof new data? Human Hepato-Toxicity Study Hepato-Toxicity Lens
CDISC and the Semantic Web? • Reduce the need to write data parsers to any CDISC XML Schema • Make use of ontologies and terminologies directly using RDF • Easier inclusion of Genomic data • Use Semantic Lenses for Reviewers • Easier acceptance by industry with their current technologies

Support Full Information Integration • Integration: integrate and manage data from sources, EDC systems, Clinical Data Management Systems , labs and CROs • Analysis and reporting: Accurately and timely analytical reports from study data, for use in decision making; easier results sharing with researchers and reviewers • Discovery: Use expanding research information as a knowledge base for rapid investigations into critical drug safety issues, new marketing claims, and identify product-line extensions.
