DataGrid, Prototype of a Biomedical Grid: "The first biomedical applications deployed inside the project demonstrate the relevance of the grid paradigm for genomics and medical image processing. They also highlight the specific requirements of the biomedical community." [nodalpoint.org - A bioinformatics weblog]

Beyond 100 genomes: "By the end of 2002, we witnessed the landmark submission of the 100th complete genome sequence in the databases. An overview of these genomes reveals certain interesting trends and provides valuable insights into possible future developments." [nodalpoint.org - A bioinformatics weblog]

Informatics United: "Medical informatics, neuroinformatics and bioinformatics provide a wide spectrum of research. Here, we show the great potential of synergies between these research areas on the basis of four exemplary studies where techniques are transferred from one of the disciplines to the other. [...] Each of the three different disciplines have delivered technologies that are readily applicable in the other disciplines. The mutual transfer of knowledge and techniques proved to increase efficiency and accuracy in a manifold of applications. In particular, we expect that clinical decision support systems based on techniques derived from neuro- and bioinformatics have the potential to improve medical diagnostics and will finally lead to a personalized delivery of healthcare."

Reflections on an Arranged Marriage between Bioinformatics and Health Informatics: "Many deep issues currently inhibit the recognition and funding of research in health and bioinformatics in Canada and elsewhere. Some of these issues are common to both health and bioinformatics. The overlap in prevailing definitions, research concerns and methodological content in the respective domains suggest that common research needs should be better identified and reinforced for the benefit of both."
