美国医学信息学协会（AMIA）最近扩大了其活动范围，将翻译生物信息学作为信息学的第三个主要领域。AMIA将翻译生物信息学定义为“...开发存储，分析和解释方法，以优化日益庞大的生物医学数据转化为主动，预测，预防和参与式健康。“从这个角度来看，我将列出八个原因，为什么这是一个研究翻译生物信息学的绝佳时机，包括美国国立卫生研究院为信息学提供的资金机会的显着增加，以及公开的分子测量数据集的爆炸。最后，我将介绍我们在建立一个翻译生物信息学未来研究者社区方面所面临的重大挑战。
The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) recently augmented the scope of its activities to encompass translational bioinformatics as a third major domain of informatics. The AMIA has defined translational bioinformatics as "... the development of storage, analytic, and interpretive methods to optimize the transformation of increasingly voluminous biomedical data into proactive, predictive, preventative, and participatory health." In this perspective, I will list eight reasons why this is an excellent time to be Studying translational bioinformatics, including the significant increase in funding opportunities available for informatics from the United States National Institutes of Health, and the explosion Of publicly-available data sets of molecular measurements. I end with the significant challenges we face in building a community of future investigators in Translational Bioinformatics.
