CLSSS: Personalized Medicine to the Bedside
May 30, 2019 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
FreeJoin us for this month’s meeting of the Computational Life Sciences Seminar Series.
Title: Personalized Medicine to the Bedside: Using Bioinformatics in Pharmacogenomics Translational Research
Speaker: Keith Danahey, MS
Date: Thursday, May 30, 2019
Time: 3:00-4:00pm
Location: Crerar Library 298
Keith Danahey of the Center for Research Informatics and the Center for Personalized Therapeutics presents on the process of bringing translational research in genomics to patients at the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago. Innovative measures include a custom laboratory information management system, Thermo Fisher TaqMan Open Array Assay validation, genomic translations of genotypes to star alleles to phenotypes, designing a physician-centered portal: The Genomic Prescribing System (GPS), delivery of clinical decision supports, Epic integration, multi-institution implementation, genomic data analysis tools, and data visualization techniques for publications. These methods have led to the advance of personalized medicine for patients throughout Chicago.
Speaker: Keith Danahey has a bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of Iowa, a master’s degree in computer information systems from Northwestern, and a master’s in analytics from the University of Chicago. Keith is currently the lead developer on the 1200 Patients Project, a pharmacogenomics implementation that helps physicians make prescription decisions based on a patient’s particular genomic makeup.
