Informatics United Combining Medical Informatics
and Bioinformatics

• The use of image processing techniques for the
  analysis of
• the dynamics of cell nuclei
• The application of medical informatics tools for
  data
• mining in bioinformatics
• Clinical decision support systems based on
  bioinformatics
• have the potential to improve medical
  diagnostics and lead
• to a personalized delivery of healthcare

5
Clinical Applications

• Diagnostic tools
• Gene chips, protein chips
• Early detection of infectious agent, congenital
  disorders, susceptibility to disease and,
  eventually, idiosyncrasy
• Drug Discovery/Development
• Gene expression profile
• Protein structure and candidate molecules
