LIVE WEBINAR: September 30, 2025 | 1:00pm-2:00pm ET
Registration includes the live webinar link (sent via zoom), the webinar recording, PDF of the slides, and continuing education credit (CME and CMLE).
Description:
Clinical bioinformatics has traditionally been associated with building and maintaining genomic analysis pipelines, but its role in modern molecular pathology extends far beyond variant calling. Today, clinical bioinformaticians are integral to integrating genomic data into laboratory information systems (LIS), enabling seamless reporting into electronic health records (EHRs), advancing genomic data standards, and stewarding clinical genomic data and infrastructure at both departmental and enterprise levels. They also drive clinical innovation through advanced data science approaches, including artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), while playing a vital role in training the next generation of pathologists and laboratorians.
This talk will highlight how these activities transform genomic data into tangible value—improving diagnostic accuracy, enabling precision therapies, advancing translational research, and enhancing patient care. Through case examples and forward-looking perspectives, participants will gain insight into the organizational, technical, infrastructural, and human dimensions that make clinical bioinformatics not only a pillar of pathology but also a driver of innovation across medicine.Learning Objectives:
- Describe the expanding role of clinical bioinformatics beyond genomic pipelines, including integration with LIS, EHRs, and data standards.
- Recognize the organizational, technical, and workforce dimensions needed to sustain clinical bioinformatics as a pillar of pathology and a driver of innovation.
- Evaluate the potential of
advanced data science approaches, such as AI/ML, to further extend the impact
of clinical bioinformatics in molecular pathology and beyond.
