For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course teaches the design of contemporary information systems for biological and medical data. Examples are chosen from biology and medicine to illustrate complete life cycle information systems, beginning with data acquisition, following to data storage and finally to retrieval and analysis. Design of appropriate databases, client-server strategies, data interchange protocols, and computational modeling architectures. Students are expected to have some familiarity with scientific application software and a basic understanding of at least one contemporary programming language (e.g. C, C++, Java, Lisp, Perl, Python). A major term project is required of all students. This subject is open to motivated seniors having a strong interest in biomedical engineering and information system design with the ability to carry out a significant independent project.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Biological-Engineering/20-453JFall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmDewey, CYu, HanryBhowmick, Sourav2009-06-24T10:38:44-04:0020.453JHST.958J2.771Jen-USBiological EngineeringBiochemistry/Biophysics and Molecular Biologygene sequencingpharmaceuticaldrug targetdrug discoverydrug developmentontologiesbiological datarelational databaseSQLXMLpathway modelingdiagnosisgel electrophoresismicroarrayclinical trialclinical decision supportcomputational biologybioinformaticsproteomicsgenomicsExperiBaseschemadatabaseBioHaystacksemantic webCellMLSBMLSPARQLOWLRDFDICOMmedical recordsmolecular biologymetadatamedical imagingimagingMechanical EngineeringHealth Sciences and TechnologyMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
