A common goal of Translational Science is better understanding of disease susceptibilities and mechanisms. Evolving approaches that take advantage of Electronic Health Records, biorepositories, and genotyping will create new opportunities for clinical phenotyping. Meeting presentations will describe resources such as a Central IRB, informatics, and clinical research pharmacy that the VA has put in place to support data-intensive studies.
Poster presentations are requested. Please submit poster abstracts to Dr. Jody Sachs by September 14, 2010.
