This book introduces readers to essential methods and applications in translational biomedical
informatics which include biomedical big data cloud computing and algorithms for
understanding omics data imaging data electronic health records and public health data. The
storage retrieval mining and knowledge discovery of biomedical big data will be among the key
challenges for future translational research. The paradigm for precision medicine and
healthcare needs to integratively analyze not only the data at the same level - e.g. different
omics data at the molecular level - but also data from different levels - the molecular
cellular tissue clinical and public health level. This book discusses the following major
aspects: the structure of cross-level data clinical patient information and its shareability
and standardization and privacy. It offers a valuable guide for all biologists biomedical
informaticians and clinicians with an interest in Precision Medicine Informatics.
